Our 2013 trip to Bass Lake, Jackson, Ca.
and Yosemite!
The last couple years we have taken a week long vacation up to Jackson, Ca.
to visit friends who moved up there a few years back. Well this year we
stretched it to two weeks. With a stop at Bass Lake, Ca. just outside of
Yosemite. The Bass Lake Resort is a 'Resort of Destination' that we are
eligible to stay at with our new membership at Mountain Lakes. Then
on to Jackson, Ca. followed by three GLORIOUS days in Yosemite (a
very favorite place of mine since childhood). And a short followup stop
at Bass Lake Resort!
Well, here we are all hooded up ready to hit the road to Bass Lake
and another GREAT ADVENTURE!
Here a real nice Panorama view of Bass Lake!
Well, here we are at Bass Lake. A fairly large reservoir lake with
lots to nice homes a number of marinas and a lot of Public
Campgrounds and Day Uses areas.
