Annual Brotherhood Camping 2008

This year, we joined the Deckos and the Havenses at
good ol’ Folsom Lake - Beals Point to be exact.
Having last been here in 2002 we were
looking forward to the combined camp sites -
especially since the Deckos were actually
camping in tents and the lil’ ones are older
now.
To say the first day was hot would be a major understatement. The local newspapers had called it the hottest day of the year. With the mercury soaring to 110 degrees right about the time we arrived at camp and started to set up we weren’t doubting that one bit. There was still a pretty bad haze in the air from all of the local fires and we thought we’d not see blue skies for days.

Annual Bro's Camping Trip - Pinecrest
This year we headed for the cool air and tall trees
of Pinecrest... just a few miles from the Dodge Ridge
Ski Resort. Besides me getting sick on Thursday (and
not from drinkin') it was an awesome camping trip.
The kids rode their bikes all day long and then went
and saw a couple of movies at night on the outdoor
screen across the road. On our second day me and KW
headed out to Dodge Ridge, and by OUT I mean UP. KW
did great on his inaugural climb (3.5 miles and about
1200 feet of climbing). Fred and Twon met us at Dodge
Ridge. We headed up a mile or so (and over 2,000
feet) while mostly carrying the bikes and then bolted
downhill on the double track (and very bumpy) trails.
I had no idea that the ski runs doubled as bike
trails in the off-season.
