We returned again to Eastman Lake for the second time in April. We wanted to get as much camping in before the high temps arrived. It was a very relaxing stay and the sky was clear enough to catch some stars. It's so peaceful...
The next day we drove to the other side of the lake to the day use area where they were having a fishing derby for the children. Most of them by this time, had quit fishing and began cooling off in the water. But there were many activities for the kids to do and learn about water safety, a BBQ and prizes to win. It was a fun day for the kids!
At the children's fishing derby event, there were many rangers heading up the activities. Ranger Andy is our favorite. He checks up on us in camp now and again too...we are so rowdy, you know! =o]
Back to camp we go. Way up in a eucalyptus tree was a raven nest that I watched and photographed when the parents came to feed. As you can see these little fellows were letting their parents know they were hungry.
When we weren't looking up, we were looking down and we'd watch the gophers come up, grab a tender morsel of grass or weeds and scurry back down to their den. This little guy needs some Crest White Strips!!
Another beautiful night of star gazing with the Big Dipper right above Odessa!
Our mornings so relaxing...coffee and a comfy chair, and sharing it with Odessa! Once again, we had another fabulous weekend of camping.
