By Leslie Parks - Friday, July 26, 2013
Crazy because we were leaving the next day but it was nice, John started his vacation, and the boat was at home.  We spent about 3 hours on the lake.  We brought the tube but left it in the bed of the truck.  It was a skis and wake board kind of afternoon.  Isaac was first up and he wanted to water ski....

By Leslie Parks - Friday, July 19, 2013
Our last hiking day in the park.  We had planned to hike to Owyhigh Lake, there were two different directions that we could approach the lake, from outside the park and from inside the park.  I thought about splitting up and meeting in the middle, handing off the van keys and doing kind of a shuttle hike.  We thought about it but in...
