CAMPING TRIP DETROIT LAKE, OR 2010
It was the morning of Friday August 6th, 2010 when my Wife, Son (18 mths) Baylee (our puggle) and I had the truck loaded down and the North River Boat hooked up and headed down the highway to grab our choice camping spot. After hitting loads of random traffic we finally arrived to Detroit Lake. Upon arrival we discover after another hour of driving that every campground in the area had no spots to be found. Wife is steaming mad that no reservations were made at the State Campground and kid is screaming at wanting to get out of truck (by now I’m in the doghouse with the evil-eye upon me). After pleading with the State Park for suggestions, they tell me an RV Park just opened right above the hillside in town, perfect… We get to the RV Park, nobody in site but an impressive find. We meet the host, we are the first customer, he is shocked and gives us the best spot in the park, all spots are located right along the highway, the jake-brakes on the big rigs coming down the hill was music to our ears all day all night. We get unpacked and head out on the lake to relax. Making room in the boat for our son to run around while we went swimming in one of the coves, I put all the fishing poles on top of the cabin cover. Our day is finished and heading back out to the main part of the lake is this horrible noise (like a cat’s nails ripping fabric) comes from above my head. Like slow motion I watched $300 in fishing rods and reels sink 90ft to bottom of the lake. Once back to camp and the in-laws show up with their just purchased 1-day fishing licenses they just bought in town are ready to hit the lake, “we got a problem”!!! To the rescue comes my son’s Batman pole that I rigged up and headed out. It worked like a champ with a little improvising. The grandparents will never forget that fishing trip. The next two days were spent cooking, cleaning, lighting fires morning and night and playing camp host to all. Sunday comes and we all head back home to clean and unpack and have a bbq to celebrate Birthdays and Grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. Flying all the way from Florida, Grandma and Grandpa head back home with a trip they will never forget. I’m so glad this trip was over…
P.S. I need a vacation…!!!
