Oh okay - what about Concow lake? I haven't been out there in ages, but I know you used to be able to camp out there.... There's a campground across from Ishi Trail & the fire station. At least there used to be. I have no idea what it's called, or if it's still there after the fires. Sorry, I'm not much help.

ETA: I found it:

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
