Debra and I traveled to see our daughter in Quincy CA. recently. It is good to be vaccinated. We spent some time in the high desert which I have grown to love. We spent a nice afternoon at Frenchmens Lake where I caught a very nice Brown Trout.

Frenchmens is an out of the way but starkly beautiful lake off of 70/395 near Portola CA.

We briefly considered a jaunt to Genesee Valley by way of Beckwourth but were afraid of the cows

Here is the view from Aubrey’s front yard looking out towards Quincy

On the way back we hit Table Rock near Oroville for the most spectacular wildflower show I have ever witnessed. All pics clickable BTW
