After a great weekend with Glorianne & Stan and so many other volunteers at the Shelly Creek Rendezvous we headed up to Medicine Lake for a few days..The day we arrived on Monday was gorgeous! About 75 degrees.. We fished and then we took the kayaks for a little cruise about the lake.. Ripley & Kaylee were our mascots.. They love the kayaks.. Beautiful day..
We were also fortunate enough to not have to pay any fees at the campground, became the campground was not officially open.. 
G & S thought they may come up for the day on Wednesday, but to our surprise they came up Tuesday afternoon with the trailer and stayed over. We went out fishing late that afternoon and limited..
We shared dinner together that evening.. It was an early evening..
Wednesday morning we got up and it was DAM cold! like 30ish! We got our there fishing and it was 37 degrees and with a wind chill factor of probably 27 degrees! FREEZING! But we persevered and caught our limits..Some of the fish had some size.. most were plants.We all shared lunch and then took a ride up Mt Hoffman to view Mt Shasta and the valley below! OMG it was breath taking! It didn’t even seem real.. We were up about 7500 feet!! The ride up was a bit nerve racking..eck..
Soon after we got back to camp G & S packed up and headed home.. Bless their hearts! Great people! And I know they were exhausted after that weekend.. And they came up anyway.. Gotta Love em!! We do!! They had plenty of fish to take home!!
Ev and I fished both Medicine Lake as well as Bulls eye Lake.. We did well at both.. .
Thursday morning was the coldest yet.. There was a heavy frost on the truck when we woke Thursday morning.. We were lucky to even get in this time of the year at Medicine lake.. Usually the campground and roads are not open till the first of July.. But with the drought, we were lucky that there wasn’t much snow.. We had a GREAT vacation.. We got home about 6pm that Thursday..
I had to get home because I had to leave early Friday morning for Sonora for a Moose Training class in Quick Books..
