Let’s get this straight, Bridget’s the Amador County Expert, not me.  Bridget probably knew where Lake Camanche was off the top of her head.  She probably takes her family swimming there, and has many happy memories of Lake Camanche.

I’ve been led to the lake largely by inference and the MLS.  The MLS tells me that the area we call Lake Camanche is in Ione.

Live and learn.

I’m also assuming it’s a body of water, what with being named “Lake Camanche” and all.  But wait, my research skills coming into their own in full force, I was able to discover that this is a great place to go Bass Fishing, if you’re not a vegetarian, anyway.  If you are a vegetarian like me, you probably shouldn’t go bass fishing.  But when I was younger, I wasn’t a vegetarian, and I used to like to go bass fishing, so I get it about how you probably don’t want some stupid vegetarian telling you what to do.

There aren’t a lot of houses out in Lake Camanche.  Actually there probably are few if any “in” the lake — they’d get wet.  But there aren’t a lot around Lake Camanche, is what I’m trying to say.  Only four sold last November.  Only one sold this November.  No, I’m not even going to tell you what the median price of one house is.  That would be silly.  However, I will say that in addition to knowing intuitively that Lake Camanche probably had water in it, I can tell you that the average home sold for the same price as the median home, and that the high and low prices likewise didn’t vary, when that one home was sold.

Oh what the heck, I can’t resist:  $323,000.

I may be visiting Lake Camanche in my fabulous Amador County adventure, which is any day now.
