Island Lake

Last weekend Derek's Dad was meeting his Scout troop in the Unitas. We decided to tag along. It was lots of fun! Derek's brother Brad came and also his sister Rachael. We got a bit side tracked on our hike in which resulted in us getting to camp later than we had planned. We went fishing, though the mosquitos where terrible. Derek has been irritated that "OFF" doesn't really keep the mosquitos OFF of him. Such false advertising!!! There was a beautiful, bright, full moon on Friday night which was gorgeous and lit up the entire area. Brad taught us some constellations (though they were hard to see with such a bright moon) and we finished off the night around the campfire.



Mike in his self made tent. . . Still has the boy scout in him!!!

Rachael in her bivie (spelling?). This was Rachy's first backpack! She did so good!!!
