Sand Beach at Amber Lake
Sand Beach at Amber Lake
Our sand beach-we spent quite a bit of time swimming, especially the last day. I ended up getting burned worse than I ever have before.

Our food pack to begin with was about 80 pounds. We could only get it a few feet off the ground, and it took all three of us to do that. To help with getting it up into the tree, I made a pulley system out of some cedar branches. With the pulley system, I could get it up by myself.
Dinner on the Rocks

One night the bugs were so bad by the fire grate that we made our dinner right by the lake. This is Carlos and Lorenzo washing dishes afterward.

Carlos and I were fishing on the north shore of the lake one afternoon. We didn't see this rolling in until it was basically right on top of us. We paddled as hard as we could back to camp. We just beat the storm back.
Walking on Water

There was a rock that was just below the surface in the middle of the lake. I actually had some good fishing around it. We also thought it would be neat to take a picture and make it look like I knew how to walk on water.
