Yurt ~ Winchester Lake Vacation

We enjoyed the park and the cooler temps. I was able to just sit by the lake in my lawn chair fish read journal rest relax and enjoy that day while the guys were out on the lake fishing, I had a turn too. It was great big tall pine trees surround the lake. I got some sketching done. As I listened to the sounds I heard the Canadian geese honking, and I saw an eagle fly over head, and a loon dive under the water to get a fish, we saw a deer when we first came in the park and I saw a chipmunk scamper up a big tall ponderosa pine tree as I went in to the camp ground office to check on renting a cabin or yurt. I liked the sky light at night you could look up and see the tops of the pine trees and the stars through the roof. (Sh-h this is me not telling about dh backing the boat into a tree when he was trying to park it in the dark.) The one thing we did forget was a flash light that would have helped!

I discovered that they had a Dutch oven camp cooking class in the evening and outdoor movie on Thurs. nights. They were having a community event a paddle fest I think that meant canoe races. We were lucky to get a Yurt for the night. We enjoyed it I slept well dear hubby said that’s because I stole covers all night! LOL! He did not sleep as well! We had sleeping bags and did not sip them together thought we would be too hot boy were we wrong! Br-r ! It was cold up there in the night. A yurt is like a Mongolian tent and we got the smaller one. The bigger ones come with a canoe bbq and pedal bikes.

Dear son got some great pics. of the smaller bass boat that he will be putting up on the website later on {he came up during the day} dh looks like he has been on vacation he has quite a tan, I got burnt again and had to get out of the boat and go sit on the bank in the shade, it was too hot in the sun and too cool in the shade. Not that I’m complaining. There was quite a bit of road construction. The understatement of the year the are putting in 4 lane from Boise (southern part of the state) to Canada so no matter where you go you find it! We took the old grade on the way home to by pass the construction and enjoyed the scenic views coming off the grade seeing the fields in various stages of ripeness it looked like a post card view!
