I camp for 3 days at Gold Lake. The lake is way up in the Sierras at 6,500 ft, just under the Sierra Butte mountains.
The scenery, both on the drive up there and at the lake itself, is so beautiful.



I sit by the lake, breathe mountain air and doze. I am very feeble and hikes and stuff like that are beyond my capabilities. However, I love to cook and eat outdoors. so that is what I do.

I drink a lot of tea.




I sit in the sun watching birds and listening to another book on Captain Cook. That’s about it.
A grotesque dresser thing has followed me around for the last 20 years or so. I never liked it.

I finally get around to selling it.

I have been taken off steroids, much reducing my chances in the next Olympics,
