The Lake.

The Hillbilly Hilton

Dusty prefers Redneck Toy hauler

We haul our quads or horses, all our camping supplies, AND we get to sleep in this baby!!!

Ellie getting ready to go quading.

Lucy decided to bump up the rating to PG.

The tree fort by Moose lake-

I actually think that it's called Deer lakes but whatever.

We have to stop here multiple times.

Turtles. There are loads and loads of turtles.

There are teeny tiny baby turtles.

Pretty fun to watch.

The kids don't really care.

This, however, they do care about.

Ellie LOVES the beach.

Not really the water.

She is getting better though.

Lucy is a fish.

I'm surprised she's not webbed or scaled.

We had to force her out of the water when her lips would turn blue and she couldn't stop chattering.


Everyone was sad when it was time to pack up.

Especially Dusty, since it was his turn to do the dishes!

Hi Ho HI Ho it's off to the Lake I go.....
tootles to you all.
I hope your jealous.
I would be.
I have 4 days of quading, swimming, tanning, farmers markets, etc.
AND 30 degree heat.

Adventure Part 2 and 3

It feels like tons has happened since this "little" road trip and now I'm going to have to catch-up.

Our destination for the road trip was Elk Lakes. We drove on a dirt road and it seriously just ended. I went to look at the sign at the end of the road and it said that lower Elk Lake was a 1 km walk and that upper Elk Lake was 3 km. We thought we'd see how the girls fared.

Ellie ran the entire 1st km. We stopped and threw rocks and let the dogs play. I thought it was neat to see the mouth of the Elk River. Lucy had enough of the walking business so we turned around to go back to the truck. They both whined the remainder of the walk. It was awesome. We got them to the truck and they slept.

We woke them up when we came across the most amazing camp place ever. We were driving a more back road then the one we took to Elk Lakes and we came across a clearing. It's at mile 153 on the power line road. It has a little creek that goes through it. There are horse corals and tons of places to hang food. There is also a cement pad. There is tons of room. I think it would be so much fun to group camp at this place. So much to do. We stopped to have supper. I think the girls were relieved to just be able to run and walk and just play. I think Dusty was just happy to eat. I think he thought I was starving him. What a guy.

I'm sure he'll love this picture going up.


You know it's been a good adventure when your children's faces are this dirty.

It was a fun trip. BUT I think I'll wait awhile before next time....
