Lake Cachuma is located on Highway 154 between Santa Barbara and Solvang. Although it's always been a popular recreational spot, it's a reservoir lake so locals tend to talk about it in terms of water levels. "Cachuma's low this year," is always a worry. But in recent years, the lake has been full and for the first time ever, they have allowed kayaking. We recently discovered the yurts, situated in prime locations around the lake. This is Mimi's idea of camping--sitting on a deck reading a book, looking up every so often to stare at the beautiful scenery.
Maybe one of these days I'll talk her into renting a boat and we can actually go fishing! But for now, cooking burgers on the grill and uncorking a bottle of Syrah is about our speed. Something about the serenity of the lake combined with the warm winds makes us utterly lazy. In fact, I think it's time to crawl back into my yurt and take a nap.
