Due to the heavy snowfall this past winter, many of the campgrounds had delayed openings. My normal May start to the season was therefore put off all the way to July this year. That actually Continue reading “Loon Lake First Campout of 2017”

Loon Lake #4 September 2016
One of my favorite things is an empty campground, and this was the situation at Loon Lake this time. Mid week, September… perfect for camping. Weather was delightful and even got a little rain on the last morning. Kate went with me and Ben and Charlie this time. Not much swimming because the water was about 10 degrees cooler than August. And the bees/wasps were less annoying this time. Charlie and Ben both rode in the kayaks. Fishing was much improved, caught a couple, one decent sized. Charlie was a handful as all puppies are but he loved it and he is so cute to watch his excitement and enthusiasm. What a character. Ben over did himself as always and was kind of limping near the end of the three days. I think his feet were sore or possibly some sore muscles. He is back to normal now. In the video below, the two items that Charlie was caught eating were a dead, petrified fish and horse poop. Nice, huh.

Ben and I had a great time up at Jackson Meadows, again this year. Lake was down about ten feet but not as bad as a year ago this time. Pass Creek was as low as I’ve ever seen it. Continue reading “Jackson Meadows August 2016 #3”
Loon Lake July 2016 #2
Ben and I went up to Loon Lake for three days, the last week in July. A hot week (mid 90s) with lots of bees, gnats, flies and general bugs. Otherwise, it was beautiful. Swimming was great. Continue reading “Loon Lake July 2016 #2”
Jackson Meadows #2
This was the second campout this year after Biggs passed away about three weeks ago. So, its difficult being in these mountain settings that we all hiked around, napped and swam in together. Continue reading “Jackson Meadows #2”
