Lake Roosevelt, July/August 2007

Our favorite spot for our family and friends to vacation at is Lake Roosevelt, located in Eastern Washington. Created by Grand Coulee Dam, Lake Roosevelt has just over 150 miles of navigable water, with about 450 miles of shorline. We camp at the River Rue Campground, located just one mile south of the Keller Ferry, where the Martha S goes back and forth across the lake, providing free service from one side to the other for all vehicles.

Getting the tubes inflated and ready for use.

"Do you know where the fill hole is? I wanna get this thing in the water, it is getting kinda warm out here in the sun." By the way, that is my friend Mike's boat on the left and my boat on the right.

Our "beach camp", complete with picnic table and shade. All we need to provide is the beach chairs and, of course, FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time to cool off in the nice warm water.

Getting ready to try and get the "flying wing" going and up and out of the water. It turned out to be somewhat successful.

Now it is Kevin's turn to cut up the water.

There is nothing but fun in the sun when we are here. Air temps generally run 85 to 95 degrees and the water generally runs 70 to 75 degrees.
Our motto for when we are there.....Eat, Sleep, SKI!!!!
