Bob Lake camp adventures

The pack decided it was about time for a long weekend camp adventure! So on Friday we loaded up and headed for the Bob Lake forest service camp ground. Besides just relaxing by the fire, the plan was to clear brush around the camp ground.  A second post to follow.

Sandy towed the Big Boss.
We'll need the Boss and the trailer to move slash.

Arly towed the camper.

We got a nice lake shore spot at Bob Lake.

I think it's the best lake anywhere!

Fresh lake trout tonight.  We'll get the skin!

Nothing like campfire grilling.

Does it get any better than this?

We awoke to a calm, foggy lake.

Then some friendly campers stopped by!

It's so much fun to meet someone who can run and tussle.

Gromit can hardly run any more.

Oh ya!

We had so much fun with Darwin.  He was fast!

Other friendly campers we met today.

Didn't get a photo of their mutt. He was hunting frogs!

Now at work clearing camp sites.
We made a deal with the concessionaire to do this.

The neighbor gal and her dog cruise past.

Sandy found a "less than friendly" wasp nest.

Arly fogged the area with bug spray.

Some neighbor kids stopped by.

Oh ya, we do love them kids.

Back at work.

At the slash dump.

We cleared the path to the outhouse, too.

Arly made me do tricks.  He says I need more order in my life.

It was nice and cool out on Monday.

Trail mutts appreciate cooler temps.

Our camp viewed from the lake.  Yes, lotsa tannin in Bob Lake!

Lake Ste Kathryn and Bob Lake camping adventures!

Sandy got Friday afternoon off, so we loaded up the dog truck and camper, and headed south to Lake Ste Kathryn campground to finish clearing the Deer Marsh Trail located there. We love vacation! After we finished up on that trail, we headed northwest to Bob Lake CG which will be in the next post. This is the 2nd year we've taken care of Deer Marsh Trail, and the 3rd year for the Bob Lake Nature Trail, aka Beaver Lodge Trail.

We got to the camp ground and found just one lake side site still open.

Then a friendly neighbor mutt came by  We told him to come by, anytime!   He was an older mutt.

After setting up camp, we visited the host Cheryl.

We went for a quick walk and bumped into kids!

We stopped by Larry and Diane's camp.   Ya, you can rub me some.

Hey! We met you guys here last year.

Lake Ste Kathryn campground is the best.

I smell fresh Lake Trout from Peterson's Fish Market.
They are the fishing family in Hancock MI.

Huuuummm camp supper.

Canoers glide past.

The next morning. Quite a view to sip coffee by.

Then, out on the trail, we clear weeds, ferns and a few dead falls.

I'm not moving very fast, so Sandy took me back to camp.

We cleaned around all the trail signs.
What is that low brush below this one?

Ferns knocked down.

Blue berries everywhere! And ripe!!

Weeds growing up in this boardwalk, before....

Then after - Cleared!

Almost done.

Back at camp, Larry and Diane had guests.  You know we love kids!

In the afternoon, we got back out to clear this boardwalk.

It's overly warm for some puppies so they retreat to nearby shade.

All cleared!

Older dogs got to relax back at camp with Dianne!

We stopped by to say hi to Cheryl again too.

Isn't this a lovely site?

Back at our site, the fire was stoked to get supper cooking.

Dianne stopped by. We love her!

Such a nice evening, cool and bug-free.

Quite a few folks tried their luck fishing.
We had such a nice time here!
