Donner Museum

A bit of hiking and a trip to the Donner Museum too!

I think we finally made it to the top! 

And after a day of hiking ... it's time for good eats!

I think this trip was the beginning of stretch of years

that we decided camping would be "our thing"!!!

Donner State Park

Donner Memorial State Park is a state park of California, 

preserving the site of the Donner Camp, where members of 

the ill-fated Donner Party were trapped by weather 

during the winter of 1846–1847. 

Caught without shelter or adequate supplies, 

members of the group resorted to cannibalism to survive. 

A pretty waterfall along our trail

The mountains seem to go on forever here in Truckee, Calif

And David doing a little rock climbing on this hike!

Camping Again!

Beautiful lake up in "gold country"

where we've headed camping again with the Albin family.

We must be hiking up to the top with Buffy and David in the lead!

Water, logs, rocks, hiking, balancing .... 

We were an adventurous family!
