Lost Lake

We took a chance on driving up to Washington Lake without having made reservations.  We thought if we got there on a Thursday we could get one of the first-come first-serve sites they have.  But when we got there Thursday afternoon everything at Washington Lake was taken.  Trial Lake and Mirror Lake were full, too.  So we found two spots, since Scott and Carter had come with their trailer too, at Lost Creek Campground, which is right next to Lost Lake.

 

I really liked this campground even though we had never stayed there before.  The pine trees were dense and it smelled just like Christmas the entire time. Alex came with us, which was so fun.

We were anxious to try canoeing in the lake that afternoon.

  It was a little bit choppy, but very pretty.

 The fishing was great.

That night Scott had made a nice campfire at his site where we all yakked and made S'mores.

 The next morning we were back on the lake, slaying the fish.

 Then we all took a hike up to Wall Lake after lunch.  Scott was the first to dive in.

 Scott, Carter and Carter's friend, Logan all got in the freezing water.

Scott was daring and jumped off  the 20 foot cliff.

 Carter.

 Logan.

We hiked up a bit further to get a view of Wall Lake from up above.

Breathtaking.

Then it was back to Lost Lake. 

 That night Scott and the boys came over to our trailer where Alex made us all Ho Duk, a Korean street food.  Yum yum give me some.

The next day we played out on the lake for awhile and then packed up and headed home.  It was so nice that we were able to serendipitiously come across this new place to camp.  We all said we would go there again.
