Hat Creek/Stan & Glorianne

We left bright and early on Saturday morning so we could meet up with Stan & Glorianne at the Hat Creek campground. It was 7:30am when we left home.. this has to be a first in a very long long time.. Ev and I don’t ever get out of home before 10am.. It was nice to leave early and get to the campground before NOON!! woo hoo! We weren’t here about 5 minutes and here come S & G!! It wasn’t till the day before we left that S & G decided they were going to join us! So happy they did! They didn’t have far to come to meet up with us.. They had about an hour’s drive from McArthur, up off hwy 299, just east of Burney…Soon as we got camp set up we packed up into the truck and went up to the “Bridge” fishing.. we had a little luck.. caught a few but let a couple go, and came home with one.. put that one in the freezer, hoping that we might fill the bag??
That evening we had a crab lasagna, one extra one that I had made up from earlier in the week. uummm Very good..
That night was cold, freezing I do believe. We felt the cold that night even in the trailer… Thank God for the generator, we fired it off early that morning got the heater going..
During the day the temps warmed nicely nearly 80. But, at night the cold returned. Changing our clothes probably 3 times a day.. warm to cool and back to warm.. Stayed close to camp today and fished.. no luck.. but still it was a great day.. We took some nice walks, had some nice talks, had a great lunch with friends and shared some great stories. Dinner was ribs and more stories and a great bon fire with friends. The day couldn’t get any better than this.. Hat Creek campground closes on the 9th of October.. so S & G left on Monday we are scheduled to leave on the 9th and probably head over to “Cave” campground as it will stay open till the first snows.. Before S & G left we had “lunch”, that would be brownies and berry pie with a glass of milk.. pretty good lunch I thought!! At lunch we discussed what Ev & I were going to do for the rest of the week. We decided on joining Stan & Glorianne at their place on Saturday.. for a couple night stay.. Plus there is a celebration at the Fall River Museum on Sunday night.. The closing of the museum for the winter.
We took a ride into town (Burney) after S & G left, so we could check email, phone messages, etc.. Checked out some other camp areas but settled on the “Cave” campground.. with our “Senior pass’ it will only be $5 a night to stay.. we are fully self contained.. There will be no water, no other facilities, we will be fine for a few days.. Hope we get some good fishing in over the next few days.. also have the kayaks, maybe we will hit Balm Lake or another lake??
