Diablo/Ross Lake Canoe trip. July2010 Part 6
The girls got tired of waiting around on photos and cruised on ahead
The sweet sweet wife was stuck with me though. You marry a photographer and you just gotta put up with it
She does have her limits, this is her secret code that it's time to move on.
Moving on
The ladies headed for land to the sounds of rushing water. Pulled into a cove and hiked a bit
This was the only time we ran into mosquitos the entire trip and they weren't bad but we didn't want to have to spray on deet or cover up, so I took a couple pics and we headed back to the water
Ominous looking clouds started rolling in so we booked it back to the camp, packed up gear and headed for our second nights stop- Cougar Island.
This was previously my favorite spot to camp as it is a small sland(about 200 yards long 100 yards wide?) There are only 2 sites on the island but we always get it to ourselves.. The south side gets the weather, the north side has a nice calm little pool even when the weather gets crazy. It also has a little sister island to the east that it's fun to swim or boat to.
Arrival at Cougar Island. If you look closely you can see a flock of birds hanging out on the sister island.
