We couldn't have picked a better week to camp at Detroit Lake. The whole week it was a blistering 100 degrees plus-which is HOT for Oregon. We took the boat our with the Nissenins and had a fabulous time water skiing and swimming. We all dropped into our beds each night because we completely exhausted from the swimming and the heat. I have to say the highlight was a little cove we found that had a waterfall tucked back in it. The falls were beautiful and the water was freezing cold. We found a few rock croppings close by that couldn't have been more perfect to jump off. I just can't believe I didn't get any pictures of all the amazing stunts from everyone. We even had copycat competitions. The crazy part of the trip-Dave running out of gas after dropping the Nissenins back off at camp. He had to flag a stranger down, who had to find me on the island in the lake. After we accomplished that, Mark tried to get on the stranger's jet ski, which didn't work, so we had to ask some people next to us if they could give Mark a ride back to camp to get the gas cans. Mean while Dave is drifting aimlessly, because Aaron had to cut the anchor earlier that day because it was caught under a tree. The first guy went and exchanged his jet ski for his boat and then proceeded to tow Dave over to me. Just as he arrived, Mark showed up with the gas on Aaron's jet ski! Yeah, we were saved. Needless to say, that next week the broken gas gauge was fixed!
