Dave sent me an email last week saying he had room at Juniper Springs Group Campground if Tracy and I were interested. Heck yea we are interested. We already had plans to be in the area on Friday so it worked out perfect.

Tracy and I left Norco at 6:30pm on Thursday 7-21. We headed up the hill and spent the night in Heart Bar Yellow Post Site #7

At 7am on Friday morning we took the Jeep down to 1N45 and fished the Santa Ana River until 5pm. We ended up keeping 10 trout for dinner Friday and Saturday nights.

For desert we had Pie Holes. You cook a biscuit over the fire on a special pie hole utensil and fill it with yummy stuff. Mmmmm Good.
