One of the great things about camping there was that we were a five minute walk from a huge lake that was almost as warm as a bathtub. I spent a lot of the afternoon swiming, and lots of other people did to. Valerie walked around the lake. I didn't want my camera near the water, so I can't show you pictures of it. Just know it was a great place to escape the heat.

        

     

  

     

     

Those plants are all natives. Our friend picked them for his collection. The tags on their bottoms have their names on them. I'm wishing I had gotten enough detail on them to share that information with you.

 

     

This stove was fascinating. It was not hard for the guy to light, but he had to keep tending it. Every minute or so he would add another piece of wood from that pile, which was plenty big enough to cook water with. Craig also cooked using scrounged fuel.

  

  

About 10:30 PM, the law came by and told us we had to stop making music. After that we told jokes and other stories until late.
