Sailing on Millerton


Our hills are so beautiful, with wild flowers blooming among the rocks. The lake is so blue. Wouldn't you just love to be sailing today? It's 63 degrees here with a light breeze.

AMGEN Tour of California

This is our one shot of Lance Armstrong and the Tour of California bike race. Today they are racing from Santa Clarita to Pasadena. Tomorrow is the end of the race. Bear took this picture as they passed by Millerton Lake. If you look closely, you can see Lance Armstrong. We waited 2 1/2 hours and they were gone in 30 seconds.

Valentine's Day at Millerton Lake



Just had to brag about the weather here in winter. We're getting a week of rain, but that isn't stopping the blue skies in between showers. The motorhome in the pictures is the largest we have ever seen. It is custom made and belongs to a rancher from Oklahoma.

Valentine's Day: campground is about three-quarters full. The Bradford Pears around Fresno are beginning to bloom. These last two pictures are being added on February 21. Our wild flowers are in full bloom on the hills. This is a clump of Eastwood's Fiddleneck. Each flower cluster is shaped like the neck of a violin. Campers are coming in big groups now. Can spring be far behind?
