Drove on slot of trails and was surprised how difficult it was to find a flat open area to camp. Very dense Forest And heavy timber.

Eventually settled for a camp ground near Ruth Lake.

So it looks like we are coming up on our monthly meet up; Aug 14nth. Last gathering we spoke about changing the meet up spot, are we still considering the idea? I leave Red Bluff around 4:30 pm from work so it might take me a little time to get my stuff and head out. What are you folks thinking?

We are pretty open to the location. This is the spot I brought up, it is about 35-40 mins from Cottonwood. The parking fee is $10 for a week or $40 for annual which is also good at lassen volcanic park. But if you do purchase the $10 from the fee station outside, you can use it towards an annual, within 2 weeks (I believe) to purchase. This is the closest I can find to be the midway point between Weaverville and Cottonwood. And maybe some good trout fishing. ;)

Yeah Ruth lake is great now when it's hot outside. September is when they have the ruth lake festival around September 2, I believe.

OK, will have to widen out map to show 299 for me to picture where it is. Yes, any where around Whiskey town is good, that way I can visit our water sent there from Trinity Lake.

Sounds cool. Well probably show up closer to 6 p.m but I'm cool with that.

It's cool if it makes it easier for others to join. Looks like a good spot too.

Yes that is a nice quiet spot. Not many people go back in there.

Water is high right now but still looks good. The water is much higher than it is in the photo.
