Camping with a boat

We planned to go to Yuba Lake boating for Memorial Day Weekend. We spent the entire weekend prior cleaning the boat and getting it ready, and it looks fantastic! We had several families originally planning on going, so we were taking two different boats; however, several canceled so we ended up taking one boat. We got there late Friday night and camped in the camp ground instead of trying to find a campsite in the dark.
Saturday morning Isik and Adam found us the perfect site! There was noone else camping near us and the scenery was beautiful! The kids were able to climb the rocks and the hill and explore. The dogs were able to run freely.

The morning was overcast and once we got camp set up it was looking pretty gloomy, so we didn't take the boat out. The rain did start and it didn't stop.
Austin, Sam, Tyson (Adam's son), and Seth (Tyson's cousin) roasting marshmellows in the rain! While the kids were standing around the fire, the adults were sitting under the canopy keeping dry.The next morning, the rain had stopped. The cliffs and rocks were beautiful with the fog.

The dogs loved being able to just roam.
Sam and Leo
Sam was preparing in advance for the noise from the guns.

Adam hanging out in the boat. We ended up going camping with a boat, not boating and camping. Although everything was wet and dirty, including us, it was a great time!




This was a flock of Pelicans.
After we got everything packed up the sun was blazing. We decided to come home because everything was wet and dirty and it would take us a day to get everything cleaned up.
Here is Tyson and Leo finding some shade.
Austin driving the Rzr
Sam LOVES the Rzr! He doesn't stop smiling from the time he gets in to the time he gets out.

Poor Charlie! He went from looking like a mop, dripping wet, to having stickers and twigs stuck in his hair, to just dirty! I think he was a happy dog though!

Austin killed a baby rattlesnake that was warming up in the sun after all that rain. The snake actually was coiled and struck at him and Tyson.


The hole in the sky!!
