Another fun weekend camping trip in the books.... this one took a bit of effort to get out to. But a beautiful alpine lake with great paddling, islands to paddle to, waterfalls, etc... this all sounded like it'd be worth the hassle. I've been eyeing this place for years.

| Kai's graduation with Saki Sensei |
 |
| drinking chocolate milk like his T-shirt says... |
 |
| we found a nice taqueria inside of a gas station en route. It was actually really good... |
 |
| the kids entertaining themselves on the drive... |
 |
| the drive included a 6 mile section of dirt. And it's heinous. Probably the most insane dirt road I've been on. Averaged 2 miles per hour for the last 2 miles... |
 |
| but soon, we found our site, and got a raging fire going... |
 |
| Kate arrived at dawn, the Mooreheads came in later... |
 |
| In the morning, we paddled across the lake and went on a hike. |
 |
| Group shot |
 |
| Lake Faucherie |
 |
| Nudy Booty shot! |
 |
| wildflowers!... what is it? |
 |
| Loungin' |
 |
| The first of dozens of snakes spotted on this trip... |
 |
| contrails. |
 |
| Kai on his own island... |
 |
| I spent the last night on this one... |
 |
| Trying out some steel wool... too long of an exposure I guess. |
 |
| I guess Nikko got in a fight... with mosquitos... and lost |
 |
| Aaron got a flat on the way in... and came in on a donut with about 15 psi.... brave soul. |
 |
| We found a zipline! But I couldn't get the pully down... |
 |
| Waterfall!!! |
- get a pick up truck
- sleep on the islands every night
- improve my steel wool photography skills
- go later in the season... when there are less skeeters?
- pick up some wood down lower... at the lake itself there are less trees... just a bit down the road, there are tons of firewood.
- get on the zip line
- island to island slack line?
