We got a bit of rain that night but only lasted about 30 mins and a few big lighting strikes. After steak and potatoes for dinner we went to bed.
The next morning i got up and my dad was out trying to fish the stream and my brother decided to go for a swim.

Was a nice morning though. Save for the extremely thick bugs.

We retreated to camp for bug dope and started breakfast. I ended up cooking most of it. But damn it was good. Bacon and left over potatoes and steak with eggs all cooked in the bacon grease. Yum.

After eating we went for a hike. Was probably about 5-6 miles of walking round trip. The destination was Shell Lake that feed the large creek we were camping at that fed the reservoir.

It was a beautiful day. A bit hot for the mountains though.

Dad whipped out the fly rod again and caught a fish very quickly. The dogs took notice to this and really really wanted the fish..haha

Satchamo actually ended up getting a hold of it. Twice. While still on the hook. Luckily he didn't swallow it whole and we got the fish and more importantly the fly out of his mouth.

We hung around the lake for about an hour or more and then ate a small lunch and headed back to camp.

We then just sat around and enjoyed the evening and each others company. Ate some chilly dogs and went to bed early as we were all tired from the hike. Especially the dogs.
The next morning we had pancakes and bacon before hitting the road home.
