Lake Nacimiento



The next weekend is my good friend Chris Leal's birthday party up at Lake Nacimiento. He picks me up in his Motor home towing his boat and we take off up north to San Luis Obispo.

Our off-road club and us meet up and all go out that night in SLO and have a good time. We are up early and load into the motor home towards Lake Naci. On our way up the Questa Grade which is a very steep long hill right outside of SLO the motor home is bogging out big time and we are eventually in the slow truck lane going 20 mph full throttle. I was not sure if we were going to make it to the top of the hill but we did...barely. Something must be wrong with the tranny as it seems like its slipping and not transfering all the power from the engine. The rest of the trip to the lake was smoothing sailing besides some other hills which we had to go very slow up.
Pull up to the lake and we are very suprised how low the water was. I had heard it was low but wow it was about 50 feet low. Still good water though and enough to boat and wakeboard in so its all good.

Launch the boats and everyone starts showing up. We boat around most of the day and were out on the water until the evening and had one of the best sunsets ive seen in a while complete with rainbows.


Afterwards we come back to camp and party. I wish I had my camera out more, it was pretty entertaining. The next morning we are back out on the water and the sun comes out making it a beautiful day complete with jet boating and tubeing.
