Camping

I headed out to Trillium lake recently to do some camping. Thought I'd share some pictures - and no, you don't get more text than this. I just haven't wanted to write lately!



Matt and Bem. How cute! Also a decent shot of the lake.





The whole crew...except me. One of the pitfalls of only having pictures from my camera is a lack of pictures of me. From left to right: Robert, Thuy, Matt L., Matt J., Bem





Just a close up of one of the lilies floating on the lake. About 1/4 of the lake was densely covered in lilies, while the rest had none - I'm not sure why that was the case. Maybe I should do some lily research.





A meadowy-looking swamp. It certainly gives the impression of solitude that we generally seek when we go camping, doesn't it?





Here's a picture of the lake from the non-lily side. You can see some of the boaters fishing out there - the lake is stocked with rainbow trout. Thuy went fishing, but did not bring us back any food.





I was not appropriately dressed for photography. Incidentally, both of the sweatshirts pictured are mine. I'll never go into modern fashion.





I had to fit at least one picture of Matt with his huge log. We went on a hike around the lake, and about halfway around he found that round and decided he wanted to bring it back to our campsite to burn. It was a difficult job, to say the least. Robert and I proceeded to break our $12 hatchet and Thuy's $1 hammer trying to split it into usable sized pieces. We got about 1/3 of the log off, then just quit before we broke any more tools. Also, the pointing into nowhere was a theme of the Matt L. pictures.

Book Blog

I moved my book review section over to aaroninobooks.blogspot.com - I highly don't recommend it. The reviews aren't really all that useful, and it's really just a variation of this blog only less clear. It is there, though, and you (dear reader) are welcome to take a look.
