Sierra Foothills Overlanders Richardson Lake Trip.
The September trip for the Sierra Foothills Overlanders is Richardson Lake, just off the McKinney/Rubicon Road.
This is a family - friendly trip. Things to do - fishing, crawdad trapping, trail runs, ticking on the Pacific Crest Trail, relaxing, and hopefully camp fires, depending on fire restrictions.
For those that can't make the 0900 meet-up on Friday, just advise us of an approximate ETA and we will save a spot. This is an easy lake to get to so you can modify the trip to be Saturday - Sunday with no problem.
If we catch enough crawdads we can have a boil. A turkey frier pot will be with us to boil the crawdads.
