Stumpy Meadows Lake

Do not go to Stumpy Meadows. You will not like the horrible screech of the osprey and eagle as they swoop down to steal our fish, nor will you appreciate the lack of television or telephone reception. Naw, go to the river, and I will see if I can scare off those pesky birds with my patented `stare from afar'. I will let you all know when it is again safe to drive up here......

Oxbow Reservoir
13 miles away
The reservoir is very nice to visit it is God''s country. Don't trash it....Located only a couple hours driving time from Sacramento, this small finger reservoir will delight you with its wintry mood and tranquil waters. The reservoir is nestled at the bottom of a deep gorge carved by the mixed waters of the Middle Fork of the American and Rubicon rivers. If you arrive after a recent snowfall, the sight of a white-cloaked canyon gorge, with dazzling sunlight reflected by ice crystals hanging from bare branches, will take your breath away. Upon stepping out of your vehicle, your breath will cause steamy vapors to billow around you. With each intake, the sharp scents of winter, the smell of new snow and the tartness of wet rock mixed with damp vegetation, will excite the senses....
