We didn't make it to Lake Paulina, I was too busy at work. We did make it to Lodgepole Campground in Sequoia Natl Park, but we had to leave early because of a prescribed burn (waaayy too smoky for us). If you're going to visit any of the forests in CA during the summer, check the websites for information on these burns, they can ruin your trip if you are sensitive to smoke. We went over the 4th of July weekend and they started the fire on Monday; it drifted to the campground on Monday night and Tuesday morning was awful. When we got home the whole trailer stank like smoke and so did all of our clothes.
We did our annual 4 night "trip" to Seacliff Beach last weekend (it's about 10 miles from home), it was great. The sun didn't usually come out strong until 1:30 or 2:30, but when it did, it was beautiful. The fog wasn't too wet and it was great going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the waves pounding on the shore. We invited some friends of ours to spend the night with us (you can have an additional tent in the hookup area) on Friday. I think we're going to do it again next year. We always meet nice camping neighbors when we go there.
I'd like to go to the TM rally in Petaluma in October. We're hoping for a trip to Lake Almanor sometime between now and then, but who knows when we will be able to get away again. We've really enjoyed our TM even with our short trips this summer so far.
