The camping group just got back from another beautiful trip to the Pinezanita Resort near Lake Cuyamaca. Many of the trees around the lake were in their autumn colors. . The weather was mostly good, though we had strong winds at the lake on the last day. Seven RVs attended the campout. During the week we had 5 more club members come up to visit for the day. Fishing was good with many trout over a pound, and a few Lightning Trout taken.
Betty Allen, our Wagon Master, and Larry Allen, our Weigh Master, did a great job of organizing the event. Once again David Martinez brought his propane fire pit. This allowed us to have a great smokeless campfire experience. Thank you David, Betty and Larry from all of us who attended.
The Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve is holding an opening day trout derby on November 2 and 3, just before the club campout from November 3 - 8 . Last year’s outing resulted in some good fishing. We expect this year’s fishing to be even better. This is our closest camping venue and has some of the most accessible fishing of any location we go. If you are interested in joining us for the day, a good day to visit will be Wednesday. You can join us for YOYO night when most of us will be going to dinner in Santee.
For the 4th year in a row Jimmy Eghaneyan and Fariba Talebi will be sharing their beautiful home with us for the Fall Feast, which will be held Friday, November 15.
