Ah, Fallen Leaf Lake.

Spent several summers there at Stanford Camp. Bliss.

Yes, ah, Fallen Leaf Lake! We spent a summer there in around 1953. Two families, 4 adults, 5 kids in a hobbit-house. It was awesome. Had to take the old motorboat across the lake to the general store.

After just a few days the only toilet broke. My Dad, a brilliant problem solver, went across the lake to locate a gasket for the commode. He came back with a huge bag of bubble gum, passed it out to the five of us, and said, "now, CHEW!" We were in heaven, and after a while he had enough chewed bubble gum to "build" a gasket. The toilet worked for the rest of the summer. Great vacation! Great lake!
