Laura and the boats, at a rest area somewhere near Redding, Ca.
The boat launch area at Shadow Bay. We had the whole lake to ourselves the entire time we were there - amazing!
The boats fully packed and ready to go and crystal pure water.
Mt Bachelor directly above Laura's head.
Picknicking on Rhododendron Island. The Rhododendrons were just beginning to bloom.
On Rhododendron Island.
Spotting a bald eagle looking down on us.
The eagle doesn't care too much for our company and decides to fly off.
Wish we were there now.
The same eagle. We were able to observe him for a couple of days. He'll never find clearer water to spot fish in!
The blue of this lake is like no other.
On our way out, John is pulling a little raft with our cooler nearly empty of fresh food and beer!
