whats latin for adventure?

this weekend it was time to check out a new lake.  mike had been talking about it for a month or so, and we believed him that it was cool, now we just needed to experience it for ourselves.

we got prepared for the adventure by opening a keg at mikes on friday night for his birthday.  happy birthday dood.  thanks for the party.

saturday, it was time to get going in the direction of away from it all adventure.

we got to the lake in good time, packed up the canoe, and headed across the lake.  we met a pretty drunk guy up there who happened to know all the robert service poems.  we heard them.  all of them.


then across the lake to the cabin.  it was empty, which apparently is unusual.  i was pretty surprised at the number of people we say up there.  9 when we got there, 5 more the next day.

our cabin for the night

we did some paddling and fishing and got some fish for dinner.  the fire was going all evening and most of the night and we really did it up right.

epic sunset

Sunday, we packed up very slowly and chilled out like our life depended on it.  put about 200 rounds through the pellet gun and did some excellent sitting and taking it all in.

the adventurers, mary, britt, mike and i

We loaded all the stuff back in the canoe and headed back to the trucks. 

bye bye cabin.  we'll be back.

What an awesome weekend.  thanks to mike for getting it organized.  and happy birthday too dood.  thanks to britt and mary for shopping and cooking some ridiculously awesome food.

we will be back.  sounds like maybe some ice fishing or other adventure may be well suited to here.
