The first camp out of the season was Mother's Day week-end at Sherman County Reservoir at the Trade Winds Marina Campground. Par for the course, it was a cooler week-end with forecast of 25-30 mph winds for Sunday. It was a first for the Van Clan with the pop-up camper. Larry and I rented a "cabin" with all of the amenities...bathroom, kitchenette and ability to sleep four. It was actually a modular type structure (single wide trailer style) with 3-4 units per structure. Originally the boat was to make the trip...winds altered that. In spite of cooler temps it was a nice time. The lake was beautiful and it was calm enough on Saturday to do some fishing. So, we rented a "party barge", climbed on board and headed out for some catch and release/eat! There we were out in the middle of the lake 4 adults, 2 adult-sized "children" and the chocolate labs...it was great!
Cabin sites faced a lake inlet. Of course Jake was quick to walk the shore line and found a rope swing. If it had been a little warmer I am sure he would have donned some swim trunks and gone for a quick "rope swim"!
Saturday evening was calm enough we were able to build a bonfire. Beth kept a pretty good eye on the fire for us...and as you can see it was a very nice looking fire...well constructed...and pleasing to the eye!
DO NOT even ask how the fire was extinquished before retiring for the night. I will only say that Jake was there...need you know more?
