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!
What an exciting day!!! Beautiful country. With the run off, how was the fishing?
ReplyDeleteActually the fishing was good - Dennis is a "catch-and-release" fisherman so we didn't take any home.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! You were way further up than we got 4-5 years ago.

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!
DeleteSuch 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!
