Camping at Arroyo Seco

We took off to camp for a few days at Arroyo Seco Gorge. Randy and Mary had been here before and its a really nice primitive campground overlooking a couple of Lakes/ponds. The frogs and toads croaked all night. Mike and I took his small 2 person car and our backpacking tent and gear. We hiked the gorge trail and checked out a bigger loop for next time. Janet took some of the photos and it was our first campout that the dogs were allowed. They fit in nicely.

 Lots of good conversation among friends

Dogs to pet 

 

 Cooking good food together

and sharing laughter 

Night games around the fire 

 Off to hike the gorge

Mike and Randy just had to compete

in a friendly "toss the rock into the gorge 

to see who can hit the water" competition. 

 

 

 A photo bomb by Randy

 We find a creek to explore.

The dog pack is excited.

Janet finds a frog to photograph 

 Good swimming holes for next time

Snack time 

 And a nap for Mike

He was tanning his legs !!!

 We explored the trail around the lake

 

 We spotted one of the many big toads

 who had been croaking in a deep bass voice all night.

 The end of the trail

 Big fish were in the water, 

but its not fishing season yet 

 Janet, Sadie, Mary and I explore the other end 

of the trail through the campground 

and carefully through the poison oak.

Great campsite with the lake below

 

 A good time was had by all. 

 Joel, Randy, Sue,Mike,Janet and Mary.
