Another year another trip
« on: July 12, 2010, 03:17:04 PM »
Well, here are a couple of pics of our yearly trip to what we affectionatley call "Bug Lake".

First up, the kidlet who is getting bigger, and is now taller than her mother, and she's just 12!!





Next, a few fish:



And finally, me towing a large "round" which made a table for the campsite we use. We had run across a PG&E employee who was clearing the path that lead to the lake above the one we were at for the yearly dam inspections of a downed tree. I jokingly said "cut one that would make a good table". Well, he did and I went and got it!





Eventhough my daughter diden't catch any fish this time, they had "lockjaw", that is, they were "locked" into an insect hatch, she still had a great time.

It's good you 2 can get out and have a little fun. :-)

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Lolz, she packed that all by herself, and actually did a pretty decent job. That pack used to be my mothers, which she used from the early 70's through to the 80's. I think it's awesome that her granddaughter loves it.
She's got a tent, sleeping bag, thermarest, and a 1 man raft packed in there, plus all her "stuff".

She's a great kid.
