Camping at Lost Lake
|
Last weekend we went to Lost Lake again for a group camping trip. The Goings, Howlands, Siglers, Megan, Kelly, Jeff, Dan, Chuck, Andrew, Jen, Sam, and Holly were all present for some classic fun in the outdoors. 21 people in all! We rolled in on Thursday morning and literally took the last 3 out of 4 camp sites. We were really nervous that we wouldn't find any camp sites at all, let a lone three in a row, but we lucked out.
The girls went fishing with Dan and Kelly. Miriam and Simone came back a few hours earlier than Hannah. Hannah was out so late, that just as I started driving around looking to give Dan and Kelly some less than kind words from her worried parents, I spoted her walking towards our camp site with 5 fish on a chain and a huge grin on her face. I didn't have the heart to give her or the guys a hard time about how late they were out. Apparently, fish really start biting after the sun goes down.
I also took this opportunity to take the canoe out for the first time in over a year. Lost Lake is crystal clear and we could see the shadow of our canoe 100ft down on the lake floor. It was awesome! Hannah and Miriam learned how to paddle and as you can see from the picture above, she is holding that paddle like a pro!
Other activites included a 3-mile hike around the lake, lots of Nertz, playing fetch with the dogs, and the obligatory ritual of smores. It was a great trip.
