This is the Log Cabin we stayed in for 2 nights near Arnold in The Stanislaus National Forest. It sits at 5,500ft and while we were there average daytime temperature was about 75F and in the evening it dropped to about 60F. The temperatures will drop soon and by November they will have snow and then from Christmas it will have huge amounts of Snow. We left on Thursday lunchtime and returned on Saturday lunchtime. A short visit but a most enjoyable one in excellent company.
This is Fraser's best friends Aurelien and Emma Hubert and their two daughters. They own the Log Cabin and give Fraser and family regular use of it and often both families stay together there. Aurelien works at Apple and leads a team in connection with the Apple Cameras.
The three Grahams. Unfortunately Leslie and the kids couldn't make it as Leslie was working and the kids were still at school. We couldn't go at the weekend as there was too many Soccer commitments.
The balcony was an excellent place to sit and watch the many Squirrels that frequent the forest.
The lounge area.
On Friday evening after dinner we had a game of cards called Golf. It was great fun and i am pleased to report the Graham family came in the top 3 places.
Gaye at The Big Trees Visitor Centre on Friday morning
Photo taken at 5.50pm on Thursday evening showing the temperature at 70F
Gaye in the Visitor Centre and not bothered about the Bear about to pounce
Dinner on Friday evening and magnificent Spare Ribs cooked by Fraser followed by an excellent Single Malt Whisky.
The view from the Balcony
On our way home but Fraser always stops at this Apple Farm for loads of Apples and the best Apple Pie.
A wonderful 2 days in the mountains in smashing company.
