after countless hours of technical difficulties the past couple of
weeks, we had to escape from all things computer. so it was
back to pace bend for some r&r.

last time we were here we spied this spot while kayaking.
it has a 300 degree view of water and only enough room
for one tent. probably about as alone as you can get for
state park- car camping.





however, trying to avoid people and trying to get a little closer
to nature, means getting a little closer to this dude.




Not as many ants as last time but spiders everywhere.
this may be the best view on the block, but what you can't
see are the millions of spiders lurking between the all
those leaves...beautiful .

from our site you could swim across a cove to one of the rocks
everyone jumps off. kids will post up all day jumping off that
rock. too bad for these kids; they didn't get to play very long.
about 30 minutes after they showed up, so did the cops. and
then another. then two more. and finally a sheriff (five officers and
four cars total). No underage drinking in this park! I can't wait
for PJ to be one of these guys so I can hear the lowdown on
these types of showdowns...




We had such a great time I think we might have to go back
next week......that is; pending no surf ofcourse
