We were really late getting in this year because of all the late snows.  All the plant life is late also.

Introduction

My parents have had a cabin at Strawberry since 1954.  Some of my best memories growing up were there. 

Growing up their were many kids my age, including others from Davis with cabins close to ours.

My current header picture is Strawberry Meadow.  This meadow was destroyed   during the 70s by  people driving on it.  It was restored by a couple of 4-wheel drive clubs.  It now looks a lot like it did when I was young.
