Fishing Trip

We haven't been to Curlew Lake since the kids were

small.  Don & Mickie had a trip planned and invited

us so we went.  The joy of being retired

 Mel & Gary met us there and Walt and Gary took

our kayak out on it's maiden voyage 

 in sync

 We went down the lake and visited Tiffany Resort

 Mostly cabins 

 The old railroad trestle now part of the bike trail

 We stayed at Black Beach Resort you can see it across

the lake 

 The ladies spent their days painting rocks to 

place around on our trip

 The guys on the first leg of the trip

John, Dave, Tom, Don, Walt, Gary

 The ladies

Mel, Mickie, Julie, Cathy, Sherry, Me

 The view from our campsite

 Can't beat it!

 Took a boat ride 

The view of our campground from the lake

 Beautiful lake

 Fishing was good from the docks too

 A little foggy the last morning

Baby geese all over

Off to Hope, Idaho for some more fishing

Mel & Gary left us tho and our campsite

wasn't on the water

 But there was wildlife

 Didn't get many pictures there

The weather was a little stormy

Then on to Potholes Reservoir for the last leg.

Chuck and Diane met us there

 Big campsites but not on the water

 Had a killdeer family right in the campsite in the 

hot gravel.  Egg in the nest, might be hard boiled tho.

 A lot of the campsites had full timers in them
One guy is a cherry picker and gave us a bunch of them

The fishing was good
Dave caught the 21 incher

The ladies painting rocks with their 

head in their apps

Sherry broke her ankle a week before we left

She could have stayed home and sat around or come 

camping and sat around.  Good choice!!

We had a great time and the weather improved at

Potholes so a nice ending to a good camping trip!

Thanks for the invite Don & Mickie
