July 2010 –
When Dick was young, he spent his summer’s at Silver Lake, in CA near Susanville. The family cabin was sold long ago, and late July we found out his sister had it for a week! With just 2 weeks to plan, each of our kids got to invite a guest and we hit the road!
The drive was long. From Eastern Oregon to Burns Oregon to Alturas, CA and then to the Susanville area. And getting to the lake? Practically impossible! If it wasn’t for a paper pie plate, we would have missed the turnoff!
Sami and Jake got to do all the things their daddy did during his summer months. They sailed, they paddled canoes, they hiked to the small lakes nearby, they roasted marshmallows at night, and Jake got to climb the rocks across the lake and even found the cave where his Grandfather and his dad both had written their names. Jake got to write his name also.
With no electricity, or even cell phone service we were off the grid. We managed just fine with antique gas lamps and wood-heated cook stoves. The best part? Seeing Dick be a kid again!
SILVER LAKE, CALIFORNIA
Thanks for visiting!

This looks like a wonderful place to get away from it all. Love the photo in black and white.
Hi, Andi! It sounds like a wonderful adventure! Your layout is just gorgeous! I love the soft green background with your black and white theme and gorgeous photo of the sailboat! A great memory and a great way to capture it, too! :-)

A stunning layout with such beautiful heartfelt journaling and photos that really capture the vacation. You've got it all here, Andi. Really inspiring. I love those little butterflies flitting around, too. Thanks for sharing your story with us, too.
