A couple weeks ago (yep…slackin’ on the webpage again) my good buddy Bryan and I went camping at Priest Lake. He is traveling the country and has both a personal blog page, and a page to cover his journeys. It was a really great time. The day before I had purchased a whitewater kayak from a coworker for a steal of a deal so I brought that along to play with in the lake.
Bryan didn’t really fit…..heh
The Lake comming in was truly a sight too…expecially with the islands in the middle.
We camped in the forest down a forest road across from the Lionshead camp ground. In this campground is a boat from the 1950′s? that was scuttled and burned but washed to shore before it could sink. This sucker was so inneficient it took 8 (EIGHT) cords of wood just to cross the lake…that’s crazy folks…no wonder they burned it…I might have too. Pretty cool all the same though, the nails holding it together are more like railroad stakes.
Our next adventure was to find the infamous “rock slides”. I’d camped up here about a year ago on a busy weekend where the only place to camp when we get there was at a traillhead. Come to find out later, this trailhead lead to the rock slides I’d been hearing out. Aparently there is some granite rock up the trail that has been carved out over the years to make some perfect slides. A thin layer of moss has made it perfect for people to slide down then into the river. Unfortunately our trip was cold and wet but we still wanted to see them. Sure wasa bugger just getting to the trailhead though. We had to dig our way past many snow patches:
And push at least one big tree off the road…
Just to get to the top (which we never really did)…I should add that Bryan did a lot too, he was just behind the camera in these shots. We crossed lots of small creeks, and waded through waist deep snow (mmmmm…PB&J)…
But it started getting dark so we decided to head back. Buddy later told me they slides are right near the trailhead so who knows…either they were covered in snow, or they don’t exist and people are pulling my chain…
…so we took a couple more shots and headed back down…
Back at camp we broke out the guitar and harmonica and started playing some Bob Dylan tunes. Bryan was actully pretty good, and it lasted for quite a while. We contined that long into the night with a good fire and some fermented goodness 
The next day after we made breakfast, we bagen to discuss the diversity of cheese and how important it is to camping. With the harmonica and guitar out, we decided to turn it into music…and on that note I’ll leave you with a little video…enjoy!!!
