Lake Roosevelt So Far






















So we arrived at Lake Roosevelt safe and sound, minus a tire but all good. We stopped about 20 miles out at a one gas station town and were told we would find a major grocery store in Roosevelt – you can see from the photo what their idea of a major grocery store was, feed store – market – gas station all rolled into one. It wasn’t really what we needed to buy 10 days worth of groceries, we laughed our way through shopping.

Gracie has really enjoyed her time at the lake. She has discovered she loves baby chipmunks and hates bushes with stickers on them. The issue is baby chipmunks like bushes with stickers on them, so we have removed out fair share of stickers from her feet, legs, bum and face! I always miss getting a photo of it because I get so concerned about removing them and trying not to laugh.

We saw a HUGE pink snake yesterday. It was 200 yards off shore and kept turning on us. Thank god Gracie didn’t see it! What a problem we would have had with that one…come to think of it I can’t believe she hasn’t been bitten by a snake yet considering all the holes she sticks her head in.

Duane has a fishing camera – gay, I know. But he loves this thing. He drops it down on “structure” to see what the fish are doing. He gets me to do it, he says it’s like watching a movie. It is so hard to see things down there, it’s all murky and cloudy and dark and there’s always a glare – just like a movie…sure, right!
