Yellowstone Canoe Trip Day 4

Monday, our last day was a long one. We woke up early to an orange sunrise. We broke camp and then took off for home. We fished on the way out and caught 8 more. We took a break during the trip down the river on Jump Rock, a huge rock that you can jump off of. No one was brave enough to jump and it wasn't quite warm enough  either. We finally made it to the motors and hooked them back up and then motored out of Lewis Lake. We packed up the car and then drove back to Mark's cabin where we cleaned up a little bit and then headed home. We finally made it home about 10pm and slept really well in our own beds. We had a great time. Everyone got along and there were no injuries or incedents. The weather was great with hardly any wind. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. We are already planning next year's trip.

Sunday was a beautiful day. The kids played on the beach, hiked, climbed and had a great time. We changed camps again today to the North Narrows, this was our same camp as last year. We loved it! The weather was beautiful and no mosquitos. Jade made a bat from a branch and practiced with the rocks on the beach.  It doesn't get much better than this!

Yellowstone Trip Day 2

Saturday we went fishing! We spent a couple of hours in the morning and then another hour in the evening on the lake fishing. Mark made some Oregon Divers (help get the lures down deep) and we had a lot of success catching fish. We caught a total of 24 fish on Saturday. We also caught a ticket from the Ranger up there as we did not have our food secured enough while we were out fishing. We also changed camps today and went to the South Grizzly Beach campsite (didn't see any grizzlies). We had a nice day relaxing and playing. Dalton had a great time popping popcorn over the fire. It was a tasty treat.

On Labor Day Weekend, Brian and Dalton went on a back country canoe trip with Brian's Uncle and Cousins, and three of their sons. (Mark, Kevin, Jarem, Jade, Braedyn, and James). We went in early Friday morning, hooked up electric motors to our canoes and boated across Lewis Lake to the inlet, called The Lewis River Channel. Then we had to stash the motors in the woods, and then sail, paddle and pull the canoes up the river for a 3 mile stretch. The boys and Mark hiked up the trail to the beginning of Shoshone Lake. We then paddled around the edges of Shoshone Lake to our Campsite. It was right on the edge of the lake and very beautiful. We set up camp and then went fishing. Dalton caught a big fish and had a great time.
