Summer Vacation!
August 11 to August 13, 2005
Three more beautiful sunny days. We left Haines on the 11th and decided to stop at a Yukon government campground about 50 km south of Haines Junction. We like the campground and especially the weather that we decided to stay for three nights .... there was some pressure from Zaph as we were camped about 30 feet from a lake suitable for swimming. There were loons and swans on the lake and mountains in the background – what else could we ask for. Even I went for a swim... ok it only lasted 2 minutes but at least I went in unlike someone with a beard who will remain nameless. Zaph on the other hand spent a lot of time swimming. Ed and Colin decided to try fishing again. This time they decided to get the boats out to see if fishing in the middle of the lake would have better results. Well, finally on the 3rd day Ed caught 5 1/4 pound 28 inch long pike. Colin caught a small pike and released it.
Game 2
Fishing Results: Fish 2, Colin and Ed 1 (watch out Fish they might be getting better)
a view of our campsite from the boat
got one!!!
