I took a quick little one night/two day trip to beautiful Hope Valley, CA. I had a great time and plan to go back again before winter comes a knockin.

Folks may think I'm a jerk, but paying the parking and camping fees pays for maintainance on all those wonderful trails, so it never really bothers me! I'm planning a trip to Woods Lake Campground, thanks for the great report.

The remains you passed were what's left of the Lost Cabin Mine. The upper cabin was still standing when we began skiing in the Carson Pass area. Although I've never fished it, Round Top Lake is said to have golden trout. Great weekend getaway for you! Thanks for sharing.

By the drum in place of it's left-rear wheel I'll guess that long after it's usefulness as a truck had expired it was used as a capstan winch.
Well GroovyDad, you inspired us. Saturday was spent cleaning the truck and camper along with some maintenance. Today we had some house and yard chores that we finished by noon so we drove over to Woods Lake and did the circle up past Round Top Lake, down to Windy Mucca Lake, and back to the parking. It was a beautiful afternoon in one of the most spectacular areas around these parts. Thanks!
