You have probably heard of Lake Tahoe and Lake Almanor, but have you ever heard of Bucks Lake? Just think of the best of Tahoe and Almanor and combine them into one and what you have is...Bucks Lake!
Bucks Lake is a hidden gem about a half hour drive from Quincy in Plumas County. The land around the lake is primarily owned by PG&E and the Forest Service, and a number of fortunate families have leased land and built cabins around the shoreline. Most of these cabins have been held in the same families for a couple of generations. Lucky for me, I have a friend who is part owner in one of them, and just as summer vacation was winding down and my hectic work schedule was about to begin, she invited me and F up to bask in the lazy days of summer's end.
Come along for a glimpse of life on beautiful Buck's Lake...

There is lots of seating near the water...

The next best thing to owning a cabin is knowing someone who does. Thanks Kath and Fred for your generosity. Hopefully we'll be invited back next year;)
