The elevation was 5K, temps in the lower 80's during the days, and low 40's at night...a way bright moon, kayaking, swimming, ladder ball, movie night, lots of eats as usual, and this year....a bear that made his presence known.
Since it's a group site and we are removed from the general public...no tours were needed, everyone knows everyone, and it's a "do what'cha want" type camp out.
On the way in...
Across the lake looking at the Desolation Wilderness.
Steve with his whipped cream can...after night 1...he left his cooler out, fortunately the bear didn't really work his cooler over....not so for Dan.
After the previous nights events with an Ursine visitor, Steve got the class lecture on cooler storage and the benefits of ammonia. I gotta admit....Steve had the courage to go after the bear with a flip flop...and hit it....we slept though it.
Dan got the lecture as well. Unfortunately, he lost a window on the shell on his truck from the bear pushing on it. Same bear came by the next night as well. Dan got out of his trailer armed with a BB gun in his underwear...don't know why he had a BB gun in his underwear, but that's what he had, try a flip flop next time Dan, seems to work.
A quick check on Buddy's bite radius, indicated that he wasn't responsible...Buddy's an incredibly large Yellow Lab...he slept through it all....he was proven innocent.

Campsite
In spite of transmission problems...Sue came up and showed her technique for Burning Man Hula Hoop doings...her transmission still works fine....it was the car that had the problem.
Jerome...fresh from Bonneville, brought the Jim Dandy by...he's always a hoot to camp with! The deer in the area will love it...Jerome's car and trailer dropped leftover Bonneville salt in the campsite. Thanks to you and Kevin for the T shirt!
Penny poses behind the Rocketear...
Kevin, George and my campsite.
Lee makes pineapple upside down cake.
Kevins pumpkin bread.
Dean and Joanie with Lil' Hog...Dean is about to be patched in!
It was tough....but he made it...awesome eats Dean!!!
AWDA group photo....past and new inductees...Congrats Sue, Dean/Joanie, Donn and Donna....you're in!
The exact numbers are still being debated...but it appears that Shelly and George were the dominate force in ladder ball....jury is still out on that though!
Bath time...the lake was cool, but once in...was fine...you really didn't have to get out because of the cold....According to the IR thermometer...it was 74.
Not shown...movie night, "Caddyshack" and lots of other campers as well as plenty of eats....Make sure you check out Deans outdoor cooking videos as he shot a couple of them while up there....Grilled peaches were awesome. Thanks to everyone that attended......While it was a pretty nice place to camp...it's the people that make a camp out.
If you got pics...post them here....thanks all, I had a great time, hope you did as well. Doug
It could not have been a better week. Thanks for all the hospitality. 
It was a gorgeous place and the weather was perfect. Caryn has already ordered a couple of "Caravan" books, thanks to Courtney.
