Building a house of cards during the commute from Kailespell to the park |
heading to Harrison lake, we need to fod the river -- the first branch |
wide gravel bar in the middle |
the second branch is much wider |
and a bit deeper |
we put on our hiking shoes |
brotherly balancing |
head through the woods |
until we find the trail |
an old farmstead |
the trail goes through thick |
and thin |
descending to the lake on a slide |
Cliff ready to swim |
he is in |
Marilyn is in |
Ben sinks in the silt |
Zach gets ready |
Zach swims |
we lunch -- having the 2 mile lake to ourselves |
Ben found mud |
Nate found mud |
Maybe we should... |
swim |
Posing |
|
|
|
back to the farmstead -- a tractor |
a plow |
frog getting a photo |
some of us use the stream as a trail |
which leads back to river |
view of the stream and river |
the tough crossing |
Zach in the sun |
the gravel bar -- where Ben hurts his toes |
the easy crossing |
Ben limps to the car -- soon getting very sore |
