    Default Happy place

    800 miles round trip
    Probably 100 gallons of truck gas and 100 gallons of boat gas.
    2 brutal mountain passes
    90 to 100+ air temps that didn't cool below 80 until after 11pm (zero motivation for campfire)

    But, we've literally been the ONLY boat on the lake 95% of the time. We've been the only boat doing watersports. We've only seen 1 boat pulling a tube for maybe a minute as they passed on the other side of the lake heading away from us.
    The water has been wakeboard calm except for maybe a couple hours on a couple different days. We've had slalom ski glass at 10am, noon, 4:30pm... Today we were just floating and swimming in 80 to 85 degree water on an empty lake of glass with no urgency to take a set. We're sleeping in and having hot breakfasts every morning and pulling the boat out of the water too go back to the camper and take a nap while the water is still butter smooth.

    1 week here is better than the whole rest of the summer back on the Columbia River at home.

    Tell me about your happy place...

    Trayson,
    I know you double trailer pull all the time. How does that go on the mountain passes?

    My 2500 could pull the weight but I have never thought about doubling up and going.

    Not me. I'm on a smaller scale! Truck, camper, boat. I have my own issues on passes, which have improved with regearing the truck. I hope cooling system upgrades makes me more bombproof.

    Got it.

    I thought you double trailered. That is my fault.

    There is no way my wife would do the bed camper but truthfully we just need a place to sleep so we could make it work.

    Place looks awesome.
