September 15-18, 2012

The following week we spent the 15-19th again camping with Mom and Dad in the same Trout Lake/Mt. Adams area. As you will see from all the pictures (I took 172 pictures in those 5 days!) the area is one of the most beautiful I have been to.

I saw this car in trout lake. I wish I had a trunk full of sunflowers!

 If you look close you can see there is a caterpillar on the C of my CAT shirt.

Leta and Kyle were able to meet up with us for a couple days. 

  

Back at camp.... Mom and I worked on a puzzle while Dad started a fire. I was giving him a hard time that he had to hold his mouth just right to get the kindling the right size. Between that and the fact that I was taking pictures of him while teasing him may have warranted the look he was giving me here.

The 18th we went Goose Lake and did some fishing. I caught the large one in my right hand while standing on a rock. I put it on a string then tied it to my shoelace so the fish could stay in the water. It worked well enough but I couldn't move much. That wasn't a problem until I snagged my hook and had to radio J and Dad to come help me. Just as I radioed them they were catching enormous fish. One was so large it didn't fit in the net and got away.... or so I was told.

It looks like I left off last September when we were camping with Mom and Dad out at Trout Lake/Mt. Adams area. Here are the pictures from the weekend of the 12th, after the water rafting trip. 

There were fires burning on two sides of the mountain, but we managed to find areas that were still open and not smoky.

 You can see how heavy the smoke was. It did make for some beautiful/dramatic skies.

Jason caught a beautiful 15inch Tiger Trout at Mosquito Lake. We also caught some Eastern Brook Trout. While Jason and I fished Mom and Dad hiked up to an area that used to be used by the Native Americans as a horse race track. From what I recall, there isn't much of a track left.
