After a lunch in Sonora, we headed off to make camp! The campsite we chose is located in the Tuttletown recreation area. I kid you not, this is the best campsite we have ever had. Sitting high above New Melones Lake, we had sweeping sunset views to our west and beautiful puffy clouds to our east. Plus, the neighboring camper’s dog came over to visit. Her name is Flower. The weather report indicated rain overnight, but we figured that would only be fitting for our tent, since it has known little else. Park rangers came by to give everyone a heads up that “the storm” that caused so many people to cancel their plans would be arriving shortly after midnight.
