Default Psycovets in Paradise, Chapter the 12th

"Up there, there's a place I know,
its just a good place to go"
Sons Of Champlin
(Loosen Up Naturally)

There's a place I go thats way high up, way up beyond the maddening crowds, where there's mountains and trees and lakes and rivers. WHere getting around involves looking for a canoe paddle, not the car keys.
My family's had a cabin in the Sierras these past 50 years, me and my Dad and brothers put it together the whole time I was growing up.
Get up over 7000 ft and the air gets fresh and sweet and you can smell the pine needles on a warm summers day
Loosen up naturally!!

James

Default Fresh Air

The air is pure and sweet up here
Those are the Desolation Mountains in the background, theyre about 30 miles away. On the other side of them is Tahoe

PS Sorry about the smudged camera lense in some of these pictures, I just noticed it

Perfect Heaven
Drifting on a quiet mountain morning in the Sierra
Nothing to do, no place to be. Every breath is a prayer, happy just to be alive
About as close to God as you can get

Ive been all over the world the past couple of years and Yeah there's beautiful places to see but there's no place like home. This is what I would call home.
California--there's nothing like it anywhere

Default Just a suggestion

This place (Silver Lake) could be a Psycovets campout spot next year--bout 45 minutes south of Tahoe and all its vices.
It could sleep a dozen people indoor in beds but has great camping also
Think about it
