Lake has been rising 8-9 inches per day.
Weather's nice in the morning; water temperature is about 75 degrees.

Have enjoyed some good times with the kids this summer.

Had a sobering thought this morning while on the lake.
Men I've never met, in places I've never heard of, are completing dangerous missions about which I'll never know.

Men such as these make possible the life my children enjoy.
Thank you all for your service and sacrifice.

Kids 2&3 were playing in the surf at Seal Beach, CA back in May.

We found an island in Lone Rock bay this morning where we could beach the boat.
Kids 2, 3, & 4 decided to paddle the tube over to "claim" a couple of other islands (Lone Rock can be seen behind them).
I swam over to supervise some cliff jumping (Lone Rock beach can be seen across the bay).

Some of the side canyons were just becoming navigable a couple of weeks ago.
Snapped pictures of some young bighorn sheep coming down for a drink.
