June 1- It’s hard to believe that June is here already. We’re back in the mountains and seeing snow again. We’re camped tonight in a large meadow off highway 44 northwest of Susanville, CA. We’re watching antelope, coyotes and dear around the MH; pretty cool. We were hoping to camp at a small lake that is inside an old volcano. It’s called crater lake; I used to go there as a kid. We tried driving to it but there were snow drifts on the road and we couldn’t make it. So, we parked the MH in the meadow and drove Maggie’s car as far as we could. Then, we hiked about ¾ mile through the snow to get to the lake. It was awesome. The lake was 7/8 covered with snow and ice, everything else around it was covered with snow and we’re standing on the shoreline of this lake looking up at the walls of the volcano. There was another couple there for a while but they left shortly after we got there. It was really something to be the only people there. We fished some of the shoreline that wasn’t covered with ice and caught 3 rainbow trout. It was a good day.
