It rained most of Friday night and hailed Saturday morning, but we still headed to the lake to fish. We finally found a good spot and settled down to fish. However the weather had other plans and a thunder storm was quickly approaching. The kids had their rain ponchos for wet weather, but as the lightening came closer we started to pack up. Donald reeled in Joey's line and he had caught a giant crawdad! We ran back to the Yukon in a hail storm and decided to drive around the back roads until the weather cleared up so we could go back to fishing. We found some other secluded camp areas for next summer and then D decided we should go for a hike...in the rain. We saw some beautiful scenery and heard lots of elk calling nearby. Macy learned the difference between pine trees, Douglas fir trees, and Blue Spruce (we'll see if she remembers when we go camping next spring!)
Saturday night we heard lots of elk calling as they came down to the lake. At some point the trailer battery died which meant that the heater fan also stopped. Luckily we have nice down comforters on our beds, but it was quite cold in the trailer! We woke up to a beautiful Sunday morning. We had the last of Macy's cake for breakfast and started packing up. A squirrel ventured into our trailer as I was trying to load up the Yukon, and it scampered out and sat on a nearby rock as I came back inside. We put some chips on the rock and the kids had fun watching it eat. As we were packing up, both Macy & Joey asked where we were going next and were quite disappointed that we were headed home instead of to another camping spot! We have some minor repairs to do next Spring before we head out for camping again - Joey now wants to go camping for HIS birthday!
