Sunday Funday

The other side of  Winchester Lake

Last night the rain came down in buckets. Thunder, lightning and a constant rat-a-tat- on the roof. It's a wonder anyone got any sleep. The Internet said that there was a 2% chance of a thunderstorm, I guess they got that wrong.

By the time we had breakfast the sun was trying to come out, and it looked like good "fishin" weather to Jim.  He and Kathe went down to the lake and set up chairs on the dock. Jim caught a nice sized rainbow trout on his first cast.  He caught a couple of small perch and a tiny bass, but nothing else was big enough to keep. We cleaned and froze the trout in case he catches something big when we are in McCall next week.  Hoping for a nice fish fry!

Our site #C-49 in the trees

After lunch Kathe and Jim decided to take a hike around the lake on the Lakeside Trail.  It was about a 3 mile hike and they found out that the lake was a lot larger than it appeared from the campground. There are docks all around the lake and there were people fishing on every single one of them.  They don't allow gasoline powered boats on the lake but there were several kayaks, canoes and even an electric boat floating around.  Jim is thinking that he might ride that same trail on his bike tomorrow if it doesn't rain.

After the storm last night the campground cleared out.  It's not fun to camp in a tent or a pop-up trailer in the the rain.  There are only about four other campers on our loop tonight where  last night all twenty-two sites were taken.  It's so quiet that you can only hear the wind in the trees.
Good sleeping tonight.
