A friend and I finally got up to Crooked Lake. Our trip was full of first time experiences, and we wish to pass those on for you! I wrote this whole article up, complete with pictures. I will just link it here, since I took the time to format it nicely on another page. This way it is available to viewers beyond this blog. I took my time and put tons of route information and pictures.

Enjoy!
