Night Camp at Heavenly Creek--Can you see The Nomad peeking through the trees?
Adam, the nice young man (who will be eating trout for dinner), is 31, and lives in Tuolumne County. He has been a house painter (inside and outside) since he was 17. Three weeks ago, he quit working for a company and went into business for himself. In these three weeks, he’s lined up $20,000 worth of jobs, so he figure’s he’ll do fine. He was at Lake Cherry fishing with his younger brothers, Frank who is in the Air Force and will be going to Pakistan in two weeks, and Jeremy.
As it ended up, I camped not far from where they were camped. That night they invited me over for trout and steak. I declined. What they didn't need was someone their mother's age hanging around while they were trying to get drunk.
If the MADDOGS ever make it to Cherry Lake again, we will think of Adam and wish him well.
