Memorial Day Weekend 2009

the camp site
These are only pictures I took. Wayne, Will, Mccoy,Spring, Boat, Kami and little dog is Dandy.
LAKE HEBGEN.






Alas, I didn't have my digital camera on me for the BIG moments this weekend. :( Yep, i'm like...man that would've been an awesome photo.

Will picked me up from work Friday (i got done at 3pm, work has been interesting, remodeling, new upgrade to the MRS system) and we headed to Hebgen Lake about 2 hours away. Will's sister Spring goes to this primitive camp-site. We met up with her man's cousin, who has a house on the lake. Had a lovely dinner there and got to hang with them (very very good people) then boated over to the cove. Yep only way there is to boat. The campsite was already set up, springs son and man went thursday. So that was nice. We then proceeded to fish. Will caught the first one in the cove, then proceeded to catch 2 more for a total 3. Springs son, Mccoy, caught 2 plus the 1 day before. And I CAUGHT MY FIRST FISH!!! It was a brown trout, and about 20 inches long?? i don't care, i caught it and it was bigger than everyone elses. The next day i caught my 2nd fish, rainbow trout.

Anyway, it was fun time, i enjoyed fishing, hanging and eating wonderful dutchoven, over campfire food. I didn't so much like having to shovel my own hole to poo in. You sit over a log (lots of downed logs) and hang off....like a toilet...except no flushing. It wasn't bad....for the most part, just not fun in the middle of the night! i was afraid something coming to grab me!! hhaha. Of course you then cover it back up....

It was good...i went out in a little rubber raft, just one person and learned to row myself about. I had a sun hat...but of course today didnt' wear it and got BURNT face.

It was a great time, and i enjoyed it. Wish it didn't end. .... and more than anything wish i had a camera for my fish!! Will is going to smoke the fish, got a smoker at an auction a few weeks ago...
it makes me want to go camping more! and i really do like fishing :)

That's SO cool you went fishing and caught a fish. I would like it maybe if the fish didn't have to die. But what a neat place to go to!!!

That sounds like fun! (However, fishing doesn't!!!) I guess since I have never caught a fish. This reminds me of when dad and I lived on trout he caught when we were first married at BYU and poor.

Congratulations on catching your first fish! I hope the smoked fish tastes great. I caught my first fish the one and only time I've been fishing with Charles.

Jess, I thought you disliked fish . . . and you eat chicken and beef and they come from animals that die . . .
