Camping at Trinity Lake (Day 4)

Friday 8/13/2010

Got up

Had Breakfast

Decided to go North Fishing and swimming

At 10:00 headed up to the north end the Trinity Lake

Saw outskirts of the Diggin’s

Rements of the digging operations that took place in the 1800’s

Basically turned the trinity river upside down in search for gold

Stopped at first river

J saw many Gopher Snakes sunbathing on the rocks

Found another huge deep pool under the bridge

G was the only one who got their head wet

Had so much fun we forgot to eat lunch

Got in the car and drove to the Diggin’s 

Saw a nice little pond 

Fished in it

Squid = nothing

Lures = nothing

J with no fishing pole = nothing

Saw some trout

C and daddy tried salmon eggs

BIG SUCCESS

Daddy caught the first trout

Had to keep it because of swallowed hook

Everybody tried salmon eggs

Lots of trout caught by everybody but J :(

By 4:00 we were tired, hungry, but happy

C caught the two biggest trout

Headed to the local coffee cream store for ice cream and cold drinks to celebrate

Went back to the camp

Daddy cleaned the fish

Swam and cooled off

Had Hamburgers and chili (J's turn to cook)

Everybody made fun of him for 2:00 hrs. non-stop

Waited till dark

Drove to the beach again to see the Shooting Stars

C Came

Laid on the blanket

Didn’t see as many Shooting Stars

Less normal Stars

J went to bed while others had a campfire

Everybody to bed
