On the Lake

For our first adventure, I'm going to tell you about how we went to Eklutna Lake.

We drove up to Eklutna, a long and skinny lake. We hiked along the north side and got to a cabin. It had a wood-burning "heater" - I geuss that's what its called. Caleb was obsessed with burning things.

We hiked across the lake to the south side (yes, we went across it - its frozen solid in the winter) to find a crude bench, as if someone else had gone across and made one.  The others said something about an owl, but I didn't hear anything.

The night was more hot then cold, and it when we woke it wasn't very cold unlike camping expeiriences.

On the way back to the cabin, we went on the lake instead of by it. Dad pulled everything on the sled that had been used for firewood, and I didn't have to carry a backpack.
