We woke up and walked around on the beach watching some guys fishing. Thought about getting in the water, but it was freezing! The water, rocks, beach, wood, and trees right here are really awesome. After breakfast, we headed south and inland on the 299. It’s a pretty windey, pretty road, in between mountains covered in pines, and along the Trinity River for most of the way too. We got to a small town called Weaverville around 2ish, and got the details on our campspot for the night over the phone. We had some time, so we hung out in Weaverville for the afternoon and ate, got ice cream, and some food for dinner later. It’s a pretty awesome town and was nice for a relaxing afternoon. We got to Mary Smith Campground by 5 and got a spot. We were 20 yards from the waters edge of Lewiston Lake. No large motors allowed on the lake, so it was perfectly calm and quiet. There are other campspots around you here, but they’re spread out enough. We walked around the lake for a minute on a small trail and then headed back to eat! Made chili with rice over the fire and looked at some potential spots for tomorrow night’s spot. The mosquitos were around here, but we had some spray so it wasn’t bad. We made incredible chocolate chip sandwiches with roasted marshmellows int eh middle. So good! We were under scattered trees here, so we went to bed without the fly on the tent and the stars and moon were so awesome! Super pumped on the screen walls of the tent for this reason.
