Morning has broken

The dissipating fog reveals an enchanting view down the lake

Island View

The fog has mostly broken leaving a nearly perfect island reflection and a mist in the hills across the lake.

Mystical morning

Sunrise on a foggy morning from our site on Caribou Lake

Foggy Island

We could barely see the island right in front of our site.

Smallie

Our campsite on Caribou Lake

That is my tent in the foreground and the "living room" of the site right at water's edge. The other 2 tents were back further to the left out of the pic.

Massage

Cliff diving on the Temperance

We all enjoyed jumping into the Temperance but the young pups were a lot more daring than us old guys.
