We planned our trip to Colin’s lake a few months ago for this week. The weather could have cooperated a little better. However, we all made the best of it. It was cool/cold/windy/raining/ and sunny.. We got it all..
We, Phil & Toni, Wendell & Terri (from our philosophical group) all dry camped on the shores of Colin’s lake. The lake is really down from last year, 15 feet!! And last year was down about 12 feet! So that is a lot of “feet” to be down.. and figure that will drop another 3 feet with evaporation over the summer.. WOW! scary..
In spite of the weather, we made the best of it.
Here is our camp above..
When we finally arrived on Sunday, both Phil & Toni and Wendell & Terri were already set up.. Late as usual..oh well..
Sunday we mainly just sat around after getting set up and relaxed..
Monday, cinco de mayo, Ev and I and the dogs took a 5 mile hike.. Ripley is getting old so had to carry him quite a bit. Kaylee just runs full bore! However both slept wonderfully!
We all shared different foods for dinner that night.. We had beans, carne asada, shredded beef, hamburger, etc.. had so much food. Weather was not cooperating.. We just finished up with the barb-q and soon the rains came.. they hit pretty hard for sometime into the night..
Earlier that day Wendell got his boat launched. He and Phil went out fishing and caught a boat load of nice trout! I do believe this was the first time that Wendell had ever done this well on the lake!! You GO Wendell!! Phil helped show Wendell the “lay” of the lake.. Proved to be a good thing!!
When we woke Tuesday morning, it was brisk and sunny and clear! However there was quite a bit of rain.. Phil went straight to fishing.. Caught himself a really nice one.. Trophy Size? 
Fishing over all was “ok”.. however I didn’t catch a dam thing! Guess I could have tried a bit harder? It was so cold.. and I kept loosing my gear, due to all the rocks.. guess I was a bit lazy? Ev fished too, but no luck either. Toni picked up old fishing line/hooks/trash on the shoreline, Terri read and just enjoyed the scenery.. We all managed to stay busy..
Ev and I had some problems with the trailer (what else is knew?). This time we were having to run the generator day and night, batteries wouldn’t charge!! DANG! So we decided on Tuesday to take the batteries to be checked.. there is a huge RV fix it place close by called Brown Valley Repair RV or something like that.. Blaine the owner checked our batteries and they were shot (of course and they were less than 2 years old 
dang it!) So we bought new batteries.. Much better now we didn’t have to run the generator so much! Browns Valley RV>>http://bvrv.com/
After we came back that afternoon, we took that same 5 mile walk again with everyone this time!!
I do believe it wore everyone out.. especially the dogs..
Later the wind was blowing pretty good.. So Wendell decided to fly his kite!!
Sometime people just amaze me..
Wendell & Terri and us had to leave on Wednesday.. that was the prettiest day of all and we had to leave.. Phil & Toni stayed on one more day.. They enjoyed the day..
