Sierra Butte's. holiday

 Day two of our holiday for a week in the Gold Lake area. Site 11 at the sardine Lake Campground. The weather has been incredible. We arrived last night and took our first day nice and slow, relaxing cleaning up getting organized in the morning. In the afternoon leisurely hike halfway to Tamarack Lake about 5 miles total and now we’re sitting down, ready to have dinner and drinking some red wine. 

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."
