This cache has been moved from its original spot due to recent construction. There is a clean new REPLACEMENT log.
While on a weekend vacation at our family cabin I chose to place a few caches.
Winters can be treacherous in this location but once settled in and weather permitting there is tubing, down hill and cross country skiing. If summer is your preferred season to visit the mountains there's lots to do like swimming, bicycling, kayaking, sailing, rock climbing and hiking.
For animal lovers we have a plethora; geese, duck, squirrel, deer, bear, and mosquito's (to name a very few). Oh did I mention mosquito's????
Below is a bit of history about Serene Lakes lakes that are the front yard of this cabin. What we now use for water sport was once the producer of San Francisco's ice supply.
"Serene Lakes is at the heart of the most traveled route during the California Gold Rush. Originally, the two lakes were known as Ice Lakes and were used by the railroad from 1870-1927, as a source of ice for the City of San Francisco before the development of refrigeration techniques. Commercially harvested and transported by the railroad the ice was central to the community'’s early prosperity.It has been said, that among the most famous visitors to Serene Lakes was the American Author, Mark Twain. Enchanted by the area he was the first to give names to the twin lakes. He called them "Serena" and "Dulzura," names that they retain to this day. The twins later became known as "Serene Lakes," which described their location and atmosphere." Enjoy your search as well as your surroundings!
