Hey Fellow NCCXers…..

Carol & I really had a nice weekend. What a breathtaking area, we definitely would like to return next year. After leaving on Sunday, Carol and I headed out to check out Quincy and afterwords camped at the Plumas / Eueka campsite near the mining museum there. About a mile or so before the campsite we were treated to a brief encounter with a black bear. The bear jumped on to the road in front of us, looked our way momentarily, and dashed off into the woods on the other side of the road. This was a definitely a treat for us. On Monday morning we set out to do the Gold Valley trail but this was cut short as we made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up back on the HWY close to LaPorte, so we called it quits and headed home early to beat the traffic.
