Adventures in camping...

... with your co-workers. It actually wasn't horrible. We didn't get our favorite spot but we made it work, and everyone was able to find us without much of a problem. The theme song.... yes, we had a theme song.... was Always Look on the Bright Side of Life from Spamalot. And boy, did we sing it a lot more than I am willing to admit!!!



This is how we spent a good deal of our time. We perfected lake fishing and basically lived on the docks at Alturus Lake for 3 days before we attacked the Salmon River. In total, we caught 34 fish and ate about 28 of them.



Mmm.... One of the recipes we tried for Dutch oven trout.



Then our camp got raided and somebody stole our Pirate flag..... there were so many people in our party not one of us heard anything unusual. If we heard anything we probably thought it was one of us getting up to go to the bathroom. Why just the pirate flag.



Our fearless leader chopping wood. I bet you don't know how many inebriated stage hands it takes to get this stump chopped. Answer? Two, and about ten others surrounding them laughing and takeing pictures at their expense. HAHAHA

We also stopped at the fish hatchery in Stanley. Last year they had a total of three sockeye salmon return... this year they have over 100. It was awesome. We watched the salmon jump up their fish traps for a while. Its a very neat contraption. We also took a nice drive up to the middle of nowhere and ran into some old creepy abandoned cabins. I will add those pictures later.
