Silver Lake Flat

August20

Ummm, my sincerest apologies to those I lied to about posting quickly on our latest canoe trip to Silver Lake Flat. It will never happen again. ;)

So last weekend, we invited a bunch of friends to go up to the lake with us and hang out for the day. We couldn’t have picked a better day to go.

Rather than bore you with a bunch of words, I will post the pictures for the day and then comment on them.

I headed up early in the morning with Tony Benjamin and his son so that we could get the spot we wanted. Normally we load the canoe on the Durango but this time I figured out a way to load it on the Jeep so that we could have it until the girls came up. Doesn’t it look natural up there?

See the Jeep is just an all around great vehicle. Trees not spaced apart just right for the hammock? No problem! Just use your jeep!

Silver Lake Flat is not that big but it sure is beautiful! We took a jeep ride up the mountain and had some spectacular views. It was quite the ride too.

Besides having our canoe, the Blakes brought up a little sailboat. I would like to say it was fun but I was too chicken to get in.

Here is Joslin doin’ some ‘fishing’. Did anyone bring hand sanitizer?

Alas, all good things must come to an end. A storm started to come in as we were getting ready to leave. It chased us out of there real good. It was a great day though and I think everyone had a good time.
