We took our 4-wheel drive up to the high country in the Sierra's. This was one of our stops along the way. The campground has been destroyed from the last several severe winters 2021, 2022, 2023. Devastation was everywhere, but as I walked through the campground, I imagined how much joy and the many memories that were still left in the minds of the ones who once vacationed here. It was as if I could feel the energy from the past. It was a feeling the mountain retreat and the blissful peace and space that the mountains always share. #sierramountains
