This was the view from our campsite looking down the American River.

Wow, I really miss seeing rivers and trees like that. I think you've inspired me to take a nice camping trip at some point when I get back.

To be more specific, this is on Chinook Pass in Washington State.

i haven't seen anything this inviting for too many years.

takes me back.

wow, very nice...got more pics?

The only other pics that I have of the river are two of the small cliff that was on the other side of the river. I will try and post those tonight.

Remarkable shots, Que. Really makes you proud of all the natural beauty we have in our country. I took a camping trip near Lake Tahoe a few years ago and I had some pictures similar to that, but not as nice. Glad you showed us them.

At which camping area did you stay? I'm going to do the cascade loop in a few weeks, and that looks like a good spot to spend the night.

Thom,

This is dispersed camping. No facilities (who needs facilities). It is just west of mile marker 85 on highway 410. Just as you come up to the top of a little rise (more like a large bump) there is a road off to the left. If you cross the bridge, turn around because you just passed it. There are three or four spots back there and this is taken from the last one. It's really pretty easy to find.

Que

very nice.
