D.L. Bliss - Lake Tahoe - July 12-15

Got another invitation I could not turn down

Went back to DL Bliss but this time Fred, Family and friends got an awesome group campsite and we had the place all to our selves....we had our own quarter-operated hot showers and flushable toilets - which were cleaned every day  Lot's of trees for shade and plenty of room for tents and car parking.

Got to see Brad / Zilla and Randall / Big Foot....whom I have not seen since the last of the legendary Elk Tournaments.

sound like a good time. I know you have more pics Mooch, Quit holding out.  Lets see some of that beauty, Pleeeeease...

Fred and his family friends were very gracious and hospitable...da food was off-da-huk as usual   Between Fred's carne asada, Melissa's  cucumber salad, Zilla's crawdad boil and the dessert provided by Randall / Big Foot.....I felt like a
