Shakamak July 2017

In an attempt to catch ya'All up, I'm still posting old pictures of the past year and a half.  


I'm guessing, maybe 3 or 4 more posts and then everyone will be up to speed!  ;-)


We spent a week at Shakamak.


This place is a fishing paradise!


Most of the time, we had the entire lake to ourselves!


We camped in a cabin on top of a hill from the lake.


It was convenient to be right there by the water.


We didn't use the cabin much except for sleeping.


Mostly, we spent our days outside fishing, hiking, and swimming.


The kids each had their own set of bunk beds. 


I brought some Jiffy Pop Popcorn with and it didn't work over the fire, so Troy tried to cook it on the stove in the cabin.  The bag caught on fire and then spread to the kitchen.  The extinguisher came in handy!  Our cabin smelled like popcorn the rest of the week!


The pool was nice!


The kids got a lot of use out of the diving board.


I got a lot of use out of my fly rod!


Troy was all about the ultra light!


This little fellow ate good all week, thanks to us!


Speaking of eating, I tried a new way to cook blueberry muffins on the fire.


  It starts with an empty orange peel.


Wrapped in foil and put in some hot coals.


15 minutes later, it was done-- sorta.  It was more like a bread pudding than a muffin.  At least the extinguisher wasn't needed this time!  ;-)


One of the days, the temperature out was over 100 degrees.


The pool was closed due to intermittent lighting, so we checked out the local bowling ally.


STRIKE!!!!  From the fish anyways!  ;-)


The scenery on the way home was just like an Indiana Postcard.


Complete with a little white church at the end of the gravel road.


A detour to Pendleton was made for a quick reunion with friends.  Hello, Fellas!  Quack


Fall's Park hadn't changed much.


This is one of my favorite spots in the park!


The creek was majorly flooded.


I have seen it this bad before and it's rather unsettling.


How sad, poor little, abandoned, washed up eggs.
