More pictures of Pot Holes State Park

Susan's Vacation Alone!!!!!

About a month ago I decided that I needed to get away for a bit. We have our trailer why not park me some where and let me have some down time. Eric and I decided Pot Holes State Park was the best idea. Not too far away but far enough. Eric drove me out there on Saturday the 16th of October. He stayed till very early Monday morning. The weather was so very beautiful there. It was between 65 and 70 degrees. The trees were just starting to turn colors when I got there and were pretty into full color by the time I left. Pot Holes State Park is a very beautiful and scenic park. I could see the lake from my trailer. I brought my sewing machine, lots of movies for my flat screen tv and my Kindle for all my books. I found out I could get my email and facebook on my Kindle so I was not all that out of reach. I put together a quilt while there and watched alot of movies. I took some walks and took pictures with my new camera that Eric bought me for my birthday. I spent my birthday camping.
I came away with a better outlook. I enjoyed being by myself. I was not lonely. The trailer was great. When everybody arrived we had dinners together in our trailer, the weather had turned icky. We were able to get 8 people and two extra chairs in there and it was not crowded. I had the best time. I am looking forward to doing it again.

About half way through my alone time my friends Sandy and Bob to join me. It was great. I love it when we get together. Sandy and I went shopping in Moses Lake. OR I should say we got lost alot in Moses Lake. Niether of no the area very well. But we finally found what we were looking for.
They arrived Wednesday night so I fixed dinner for them. I made hambergers. I had some left so I cooked a little bowl of hamberger for thier dog Mac. He is now my friend for life. Of course I also bought him some dog treats. I enjoyed having him around.
Eric and Mom arrived Thursday night. Andrea came the next day. There were 8 in our party.

At the end of my week of vacation Karen and Bruce came to join us. Saturday the guys wanted to look at the lakes in the Pot Holes. There are a bunch of little lakes all over the Pot Holes. Bruce was scouting places to use his kyaks. We found some very beautiful little lakes. We came across a beautiful Heron. I turned my head away from him just as he was taking off so I missed a picture of him flying.
We came across a lake called Upper Goose Lake. Bruce and Eric got out to look at the surroundings and watched 2 men pulling out 3 trout in 10 minutes. Eric decided we needed to go on to Othello right away and go to Walmart to buy a rod and reel. He wasn't sure if he had left one in the trailer. So we bought one, got back to the trailer and found 2 more rods and reels. Andrea of course wanted to go fishing,then Bruce decided he would join in. The 3 of them took off and an hour and a half went by and I got a text from Andrea saying they got skunked. No fish. I thought, there goes that darn Clifford curse again. When they got home I told them how sorry I was that they didn't catch anything. Andrea says taa dahh!!!!! And held out a whole big bag of trout. They had caught 13 pretty rainbows. SOOOOOOO..... the next morning we had a big fish fry for brunch with the 8 of us. It was very tasty.Every body has decided that we will go back to the Pot Holes every October and fish more than the one day.
