Indian Lake, Day Four

Tuesday, after everyone was up and about, we tried to find Elizabeth Point on Thirteenth Lake. It didn't turn out so well.

First, we overshot the side road by about five miles before realizing it. Then, once we found the road we wanted, it took us to a place we didn't want to be: a dead end nowhere near Elizabeth Point. On the way out of the woods, we approached a small family with towels over their shoulders. "Do you know where Elizabeth Point is?" we asked. They didn't.

So we ended up just swimming off a boat launch in the lake. The water was warm, the view was sublime, and we all had a great time.

After we got back from Thirteenth Lake, Mark, Scott and Andrew went shopping in town with Joshua. We got enough supplies to last the rest of the week. Meanwhile, McKenna, Barb, Elizabeth, and Suzanne went to the beach to recreate. Then they got poured on! (Thus is the weather around here -- extremely mercurial.)

Once everyone reconvened at the house, Scott was ready to cook up a mess of chicken, which he did. After dinner, we had a great time sitting around the campfire swapping stories and laughing.

It was great.

It was Scott's idea to haul the camera out into the (shallow) lake, and take a picture of the view. I did it first, and took a bunch of snaps, then gave it to him, and he got this one. The best one.
