Twin Lakes Camping Trip 2009

Twin Lakes Campground sits right below the Continental Divide at about 7,200 feet. My dad has been camping there since he was a little boy, as well have I since I was a little girl. The lakes are non-gasoline motors so as you can tell are still very clearand un-polluted! You can see the bottom in most

places as well as fish swimming below the boat. Although we really wanted to go to Minnesota for “lake week” with the Kielb’s and Cameron’s, but we weren’t sure with our new jobs what the future held with time off etc. So we decided to take our new Camper (see below) and head up to Twin Lakes. My parents went up early to stake out the camp spots and Drew, Abby, Vance and I followed later in the week. We had two boats this year so we were all able to go out fishing. There is nothing more relaxing than trolling around the lake looking at the beautiful scenery! We spent our day’s playing card games, swimming, fishing, and eating a lot of great food!The mosquitos were a challenge but thanks to our netted tent we were able to enjoy meals outdoors with out being carried away! I caught one of thebiggest fish of the trip, which made the boys a little jealous! We did however catch a lot of Brook Trout which turned into quite a contest, even though we let them all go. We were sad to go especially since the temperature only reached 78° while it was a blazing 97° at home, along with the pure beauty and silence, as we were driving away from it. We can’t wait to make it back there next year!
