Zoe was trying to change the subject but, she had to endure the…

As morning came the sunlight abatjoured through the dark dim lit canyons, of Gunnison National Park, Colorado . I slowly crept out of my sleeping bag, every muscle sore from yesterday's hike. I thought to myself how lucky I am to be backpacking through the National Parks, with four other girls.

Two lakes that I've been to is Lake Wannacut and Lake Chelan. Both are beautiful places to spend a few days. There's kayaking in the lake which is always lovely when the water is calm. Both lakes have fish to go fishing. And my uncle takes the boat on the lake. Lake Wannacut has cabins that we rent.

fish will be on any given day. We have already done the legwork and discovered which fish finders are best and even the on board inflatable kayaks have been researched thoroughly. Perhaps you can look at our favorite and read the reviews for yourself to gain peace of mind about inflatables. We looked at that Sea Eagle 370 review and decided that it was the kayak we would trust when we were out on the water and that we would feel comfortable allowing our guests to go out on it as well. Even…

This summer I went to Big Moose Lake in upstate New York. I go every year with all of my cousins and we all hang out with each other for a week. It is our kind of family reunion because I have 20 cousins on my dad’s side and 12 aunt’s and uncle’s and we never get to see each other.

At Big Moose Lake we all stay at a place on the lake with a bunch of cabins that we rent out.…
