Shelley, being the trail blazer we all know, came up with the idea for some last-minute camping this weekend. I got the call around Noon while hunting for the drip irrigation aisle at Lowe's and by 2:00, we were on our way out of town to what we hoped would be a camp ground with a bit of vacancy.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Ice House Reservoir, it's about 1 1/2 hour drive from Rancho Cordova towards South Lake Tahoe. The camp sites are right next to... you guessed it... Ice House Reservoir. This also happens to be the location of last year's igloo camping trip... I can say no more... What happens at igloo camping, stays at igloo camping.
Needless to say (I'm going to say it anyway since this is a blog) this was one of the most relaxing weekends Shelley and I have shared in a while. Most of Saturday afternoon/evening was spent reading in front of the best view of the lake. Dinner involved some hot dogs and self-heating chili (left over from the igloo camping trip). Do the math and that's camping with chili dogs.
This was also a nice opportunity to start consuming some of the wine we had bought in Fair Play (see last post for more details).
