The lake is looking good

 If it's not full, it's dam close.

I camped at Acorn East last weekend, and while site 102 has barely enough room for 1 tent, it offers an excellent view of the lake and surrounding hills, facing east. Lots of of geese families floating by on their way to Oak Knoll campground for breakfast.

I rode the trails both Saturday and Sunday mornings, and while some trails need pruning, I had a great time and really enjoyed getting out and rediscovering the joy of mountain biking. 💔

Here are a few pics. The first shot is the trail heading in to Oak Knoll campground. The biking/hiking trails begin at site 17, or look for the sign to the left the road leading to the Coyote Point group campsite.

Haven't seen the lake this full in years. Holly-lew-yah!

No better way to cap off a ride than heading to Brew'gers in Valley Springs for a burger and a chilled glass of Moose Drool. If you're into music, Fabulous Finds in VS has records & CDs for your browsing pleasure, at really reasonable prices. Lots more to look at there, too, it's a well-kept used everything antique-y store. It's on the main drag, Joe Bob says "check it out."

 Wow, an update, after all this time...

After all the rains we've had here in NorCal (2022/23), I'm anxious to see how the lake and trails are doing. I'll be camping up there in a few weeks in April, but until then, here's a report from Ktom300:

I used Strava Maps/segments to navigate and it worked surprisingly well.

I hit "oh Shit", 12 DH, Werewolf. Climbed Nut Up XC a few times as Mario Cart UH looked pretty unridden.
There's a lot in there and it's easy to get lost in the maze, I should've worn sleeves. Awesome views and the lake is full. Super green and flowers everywhere.

It's tight, def wear sleeves or bring the loppers.
