We had a wonderful Independence Day weekend hiking and camping near Castle Crags State Park in Northern California with our friends Laura & Jeremy. The weather was beautiful. We cooled off in the afternoons floating down the river beside our campground on $4.00 plastic rafts. Our pleasant slumbers under the stars were only periodically interrupted by the very busy Union Pacific railroad located about 200 meters to the West. It was kind of like sleeping on a train. Or near a train anyway.
