Question
Hey steve. I am from the sacramento area and want to join with some friends from visalia to go camping some weekend in July. I really want to find a place thats maybe somewhat secluded, but at least has some water, lots of trees, and some nice hyking. Do you know of anywhere bewteen us like that?

Answer
Hi Melissa,

Sounds a lot like Hume Lake. Not many people know about it, and it's between Yosemite and Sequoia, two big draws, so yo don't get the crowds. Another secluded place is Huntington Lake. Great fishing, hiking, and sailing. And if you REALLY want secuded, then take the road up to Edison Lake. Hardly anyone goes up there, but it's gorgeous.

Have fun!

No relocation/moving questions, please.

I have lived in Southern California my entire life. I'm a "local", with expert knowledge of Southern California. I've done a lot of extensive traveling to NorCal, so I can provide answers about northern California as a visitor, and southern California as a local.
