So much for staying home this summer...

Well,

Somehow we knew deep down that we couldn't sit still for long! And our call to wander abroad came in from California again this year, so we're off on another work camping adventure and we're very excited!

We'll be traveling to Lake Mary at Mammoth Lakes, California this month to begin work at the Crystal Crag Lodge (http://www.crystalcrag.com/) to work with two other couples.  As the web site says:


Crystal Crag Lodge was originally built in 1927 by Barney Johnson who was captivated with the beauty and serenity of Lake Mary, and it has remained one of the jewels of the Eastern Sierra ever since, growing and improving over these many years with the five families that have owned it.Crystal Crag Lodge was originally built in 1927 by Barney Johnson who was captivated with the beauty and serenity of Lake Mary, and it has remained one of the jewels of the Eastern Sierra ever since, growing and improving over these many years with the five families that have owned it.  Nestled among the trees right alongside beautiful Lake Mary at an elevation of 9000 feet are the 23 cabins of Crystal Crag Lodge, a most exceptional place. But be careful. This can can be habit-forming. Since the 1920’s our guests have been coming back year after year to enjoy our breathtaking beauty, crystal clear air and water, amazing wilderness scenery, countless hiking and biking trails, some of the best trout fishing in the Eastern Sierra, and the relaxing and friendly atmosphere of Crystal Crag Lodge. Our rustic cabins are fully-equipped, including fireplaces with firewood, decks with barbecues, kitchens with utensils and dishes, and bedrooms and bathrooms stocked with towels and linens. Many cabins have incredible views of the lake and the mountains, and of course our staff of friendly hosts will meet all your needs.


So, rather than working at a compground, we'll be working at a resort with cabins, though we will be staying on site in our fifth-wheel.

Looks and sounds like we will have a great time!  We'll post updates along the way!
