Snowflower and Cabela's



I'm currently camped at the Snowflower Thousand Trails Preserve near Emigrant Gap, CA at about 4500 feet altitude. So far, it has been cool, actually cold at night. Have had one day of rain and more rain is forecast for this weekend.

This picture is of Snowflower lake, a man-made lake that is just lovely.







My friends Dottie and Cindy came up to tour the campground on October 1. We drove up to the Vista Point and found the same wonderful views I saw the first time I was here with my friend Barbara.


The campground and lake are about 500 feet below an overlook where we found a beautiful view of the mountains toward the West and of the lake and valley below.













Some people would know the name of this mountain. I don't, but it sure is beautiful. This is one of the fantastic views from Interstate 80 looking North.














Donner Lake is beautiful any time of the year.






















Cabela's! This is the new store next to Boomtown in Verdi, NV. HUGE! And so much fun. I'll have to go back to take more pictures. There are exhibits of animals from all over the world. I'll be going past there again soon and will take my little camera in to get some pictures of the exhibits. After touring Snowflower, Cindy, Dottie and I went to Cabela's. Had sandwiches and salads in their deli and then wandered the store. I'm surprised that none of us bought out the store!
