Insure your reservation at RLR are updated and locked in at the end of last year's trip.

Hop in an old 911 24 hours prior to the desired 1st night of camping at 5 AM to ensure arrival at the Marblemount Ranger station in time for their 7 AM opening to secure camping permits. (first time I've paid to camp, new fees of $15 a night this year... Arrrgh!)

Pack up a whole bunch of crap.

Leave at 9 AM to ensure arrival at the 11 AM Ferry on Diablo to the base of Ross Dam.

Unload and move said crap to ferry dock, and on to ferry.

Ride ferry to dock below Ross dam, unload crap to dock, load crap to flatbed truck for ride to Ross- 500' and about 2 miles of dirt road.

Unload crap from flatbed to dock, dock to rented powerboat.

Boat away to camping spot.

Glamping, aqua style.




Settled in


Perfect timing, started raining and blowing right after the tent was set up and the 12' x10' bug screened canopy over the picnic table. Love that!


Room with a view


First cup a joe half way down- eye's still at half mast


Survivor...



That is a perfect trip Skip. Keep the story rollin..
