Dear Los Angeles, try to find us. Dare you.
We're camping 90 minutes from downtown and we didn't drop breadcrumbs along the way. When I post a photo online and ask friends to guess our whereabouts, no one has a clue.
Hint: The journey up here was remarkably watery, one of our most scenic weekend drives, surpassing even Malibu and its ocean.
To our right: a chain of lakes that brings to mind the upper Midwest, or perhaps a lush stretch of northern Arkansas. Certainly far different from the sandpaper wilderness you witness on the more renowned Angeles Crest Highway.
