i like to lassen forest area quite a bit. there are a lot of places to go that are outside of the park but within lassen national forest.....with no fees, and no people!
thanks for the pics!
Herr42, I agree with liking the Lassen forest. we have spent a lot of time exploring different areas around here.
To continue my report, I now fully believe it is a small world. As we were continuing our drive up 89 we came to the parking lot for the Bumpass Hell trail when we saw another FWC in the lot. I pulled into the lot, when I realized I recognized the truck and camper from photos on WTW. Here is a photo of the truck I found...
We saw the owner of the truck. We headed on over to the South Summit Lake campground to set up camp for the night. A bit later as we were setting up camp, the truck pulls in past us and stops in a parking area. Seeing our FWC the owner came over to complement my camper. I had the advantage as I recognized his rig, I introduced myself to Dirty Dog as a member of WTW.
DD later joined us for while around our campfire before retiring to the camper for dinner.

This is Echo Lake, about 2 miles down the trail.

After pulling off 89 and onto paved forest service roads we came across a prescribed burn within about 15 miles of the lake. The winds were blowing the smoke North toward the lake. It was getting very smokey along the road and we were getting worried, but alas the smoke cleared just before getting to the lake.
