A DAY AT THE LAKE

We spent the day Sunday boating and exploring with friends at Bull Lake just a few miles from the house.  First time for me in 40 some odd years getting to the beautiful back-country as the runoff is so much we were able to go over a flooded falls with the boat (yikes!).  After swimming, wading, hiking and fishing we stopped for a picnic and apparently just missed a previous guest.  Yes, those are BEAR tracks beside our lunch.  We didn't head out quite in time to miss the oncoming storm - MAJOR waves that washed over the boat as we were making our way back to the boat ramp.  Rob did a good job getting us back - safe but soaked!

  2. Actually the fishing was good - Dennis is a "catch-and-release" fisherman so we didn't take any home.

    1. I was NOT in favor of trying - and we did hit a rock - very minor - going in - but Dennis sat up in front and guided Rob .... AND there was a very small fishing boat just ahead of us - actually one of our neighbors - which made Rob want to try even more. But it worked and OMG was it beautiful up there. The upper falls - picture does not do it justice - look like a mini Niagara!

  4. Such a beautiful lake. What I remember most about it was that we were almost always the only ones there :) I have never seen that much water in it. A bear?? Yikes!
