Lentz Family Camping in Pictures

Dick and Diana Lentz and their children (Shawn, Chelsea, Kevin) enjoyed the California coast, mountains and forests, from 1984 to 2000.

This story in pictures is written for their grandchildren, and Susie Clark’s grandchildren and Patty Dana’s grandchildren. We hope they will have similar opportunities to enjoy nature.

We invite you to take a look at how we camped, where we stayed, and how we got there. You might find a place you want to go visit! There’s even some snapshots of Herb and Louise Lentz at the beach and at their Halcyon home.
