After visiting with Tom and Judy, I started driving down to Jamestown to visit my son Jon who is in prison there. This old barn caught my eye.
I
don't think anyone could possibly mistake this for a public restroom, but apparently the owner had to put a sign up to reassure himself that we completely understood.
I camped at New
Melones Lake and sat in the peace and quiet, watching these wild turkeys strut about.
This one male was doing everything possible to attract the females, but they simply were not interested!
I took a hike through the grasslands which reminded me of Teddy Roosevelt National Park.
The trail led through numerous oak trees and undulating rivers of tall grass swaying in the breeze.
The New
Melones Lake, peaceful, quiet and blue....
Wild lupine growing in the fields.
View from my campsite.....very cool. All evening I drank hot tea and listened to the geese honk, the coyote howl, the turkeys gobble and the crickets chirp.

My humble campsite....

A good place to prepare my heart before venturing into the depths of darkness to visit my son.
"As for me, I will call upon God and the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice." Psalm 55:16-17
