Curlew Lake

We've been going to Curlew Lake for the past

three years with Walt's brothers and some of 

their friends.  This year CoVid19 hit and we were

isolating ourselves at home for three months.  

When we entered Phase II we got out of town. 

We went over to Marci's house and Walt

helped Bruce put some gadget on his watering

system before we met up with the others

at Curlew.

  A fire broke out on the hills across

the street from Marci's house.  

 Luckily the winds were blowing away from 

from the house but over the hill is another 

neighborhood

 They brought in helicopters to dump water on the fire

 Police, fire trucks, and aide cars, oh my

 Getting to the top and over the hill

 The green trucks in the back are from the 

Entiat Hot Shot Team

 They geared up and started up the hill.  From bottom 

to top with full gear and chainsaws took them 18 minutes

Very impressive!

 You can see them working on the lower ridge

They stayed up there all night watching the fire

after it had been contained.

So then we went over to Kerri's to see how much her

little horse has grown

 and her kids, Jake

 and Sam

 Then on to Curlew Lake.  Walt's catch of the day 

from the dock

 Of course I didn't take any pics of the good 

days but when it started with the 

thundershowers I had to get my camera out

 My night to cook, of course

 Then inside for the night

 The sun broke out so I knew there had to be a rainbow 

 Back row: Dave, Tom, Don, Walt

Front row: Stan, John, and Dave

 Back row: Barb, Dori, Mickie, Cathy

Front row: Sherry, Me, and Julie

 Had campfires most of the nights.  Maybe missed

two nights because of rain or wind

 Trailers are close but we had this amazing grassy area

right behind them and on the lake

 A golden eagle on the power pole

 in flight, can you find him?

Another dark evening.  But on the whole we had

beautiful weather and had a great time.  Sure beat

listening to CoVid news and Protests

When we left our new grass looked like this

We watered on timers

When we got home the grass was so tall we

couldn't see the sprinkler

Must have been 6" tall
