Pinecone Strip Campground - Sly Park Recreation Areaįrom Placerville, take U.S. Here is an excerpt with some suggestions from Kimberly and Patrick Wilkes on where to camp in the fall, based on their “Lake Tahoe Camping With Privacy” and “Eastern Sierra And Death Valley Camping With Privacy” books. “Losing the car was stressful, but it was nothing compared to the people who lost their lives and homes,” Wilkes said. Patrick's car was totaled when winds during the fires blew down a tree on the vehicle. Wilkes was in Kenwood during the October 2017 fires and evacuated with his grandchildren and daughter while flames burned on either side of the road. In researching and writing the book series, the couple has looked at nearly 7,000 campsites for the Lake Tahoe book and its predecessor, “Eastern Sierra And Death Valley Camping With Privacy.” When he heard Kimberly's idea to write a series of books about campsites hidden from view of the neighbors, he loved the idea. When Wilkes' kids were young, the family were frequent campers. His daughter, April, grandchildren Lynnea and Wilbert, and his sons, Daniel and Wesley, still live in Sonoma County. He raised his five children in Santa Rosa, Cotati and Rohnert Park. There, he met his wife and co-author, Kimberly. Wilkes was a longtime Sonoma County resident before moving to Northern Nevada in 2011. To further enhance the feeling of getting away from it all, former Sonoma County resident Patrick Wilkes has co-authored and photographed a book, “Lake Tahoe Camping with Privacy,” that identifies and rates campsites in the Tahoe area for privacy and other key attributes. And that can be a good thing for shoulder-season campers who want to miss the summer crowds and enjoy the fall foliage, cooler days and crisp nights. Fall in the Sierra can sound a little like the first snowfall: quiet.
