Winter Wonderland In July








Well what a super fantastic week and weekend it was camping up at Twin Lakes with my Mom, Dad, Abby and my sister and her boyfriend for the last two days. We left Wednesday night and stayed on the Big Hole and camped because it was getting to late to drive the rest of the way. The next morning we went fishing on the Big Hole River and didn’t land a thing but my dad hooked a couple and had one up to shore then it got off. Later that day we went up the rest of the way and setup camp for the rest of our tour. So Twin Lakes is just a gorgeous place, the lake is so clear because no gas powered anything is allowed in the lakes, so people bring their float tubes or electric motors to get around the lake to fish. It’s really nice not having boats being loud and jet skies doing cookies in the lake right next to your camp. This place is so far back into the mountains that there is snow still on the ground and not just a little bit of snow I’m talking HUGE snow banks; we even had a snow ball fight! Now how many times have you heard that in the middle of JULY. We went fishing a lot up there and caught all Brook Trout, they are nothing huge by any means but a lot of fun to catch. So I’ve never had the Mosquitoes be so bad while camping anywhere in my whole life; we went through around six cans of bug spray and had our tent with a net around it up so that was nice. We brought the four-wheelers and drove them around but didn’t get a chance to on any real trips. The weather was beautiful the whole time except for the first night when the wind was howling like a tornado, but during the mornings it got pretty gosh darn cold so we made hot rocks and brought them to bed with us and those were a life saver I’ll tell yeah. Now on the way up and back I did a little bit of what you call the air guitar with Aerosmith, I know I’m pretty cool I was having a blast though so it’s okay. Now not having cell phone service for four days is pretty weird and you feel like you have lost all contact with earth it’s pretty funny and weird. Well I hope you enjoy my pictures and I’ll talk to you later this week! !!!!
