Made our annual trek to Spicer July13th-15. 8 of us rolled down the road to the lake Friday  noonish. Lake was stunning as usual but down a fair amount so we knew it would be a trek to carry the beer up to our island camping spot 3 miles up the lake. I Peddled/sailed there with a fair load of gear while my bro ferried three loads from the ramp to our camp in the tin can. This is luxury camping in a jaw dropping setting at 7500 ft surrounded by higher peaks.

We found a natural harbor below our spot. Set up the all important kitchenAnd prepared for the burning Below is the view looking north from my tent Little Brother Luz D’Alma Room with a view The Cook Athena and the Cook Tribal offerings ensued Things got a little fuzzy Saturday AM too beautiful for words. Time to Climb Stonedmasonry Skeeter nursery and Opsrey Condos We group climbed about 1500 feet for the long view I love scrambling the granite domes. After pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw and bean salad I hit up the sailing for a while. Had 7-10 MPH winds that were  erratic but fun. Had Debra ride the tramps for a while and she now knows what my new obsession is about. Back in the harbor for wine tasting You can never have enough wood Freekin off the hook Wedding soup, spinach salad and  garlic bread off the O grill Packed it up early Sunday. Sailed back to the launch but had to peddle a bit. Slice o heaven
