Labor Day Camping

On labor day weekend not only did we go to the fair but we also went camping in Leadore at the Big 8 Mile campground, for Daniel's uncles house warming party. They built a new home and wanted to celebrate with all of their family and friends.
We had roasted pig and drinks with a live band and campfire to stand around, so I'd say it was a great time. Daniel and I didn't have too many drinks so the frigid temps were alittle too much for us.
It was below freezing during the nights and I think 40's or 50's during the day. But we didn't let it stop us from having fun. Daniel double pulled up there so we were able to take bobcat and enjoy some beautiful scenery except the road up to the lakes was awfully bumpy. But worth it by the time we got to where we were going.
We visited for the first time.
Dairy Lake which wasn't too bad of a ride, and silly me forgot to charge the battery in the camera so we didn't get any pictures of the lake. But I will say it was Beautiful.
And then after charging my battery we went up to Everson Lake.
That treck was the worst it was huge rock after huge rock to drive over. But amazed as we were that the bobcat actually made it , we found the beautiful lake and enjoyed walking around it for a little while before the wind picked up and froze us.
Leadore is such a beautiful place when you get into the mountains and start to explore the country, so nice infact I can't wait til next year when we are able to head up again and see the rest of the Lakes they have up there.
More times then not we had to cross the creek to get to where we were going.
The picture doesn't show it but the bobcat is diesal and did alittle smoking on the last little bit.

the drift wood around the lake was beautiful as well.
