Kraxberger Blog: 2008 Lake Chelan Camping Extravaganza

This year's LCCE had several firsts: first time we went this late in July, first time we only had three families, and first time we saw mice at LCSP (some closer than others, right Kelly?). We had great weather with high's in the 90's. Our new camp sites provided plenty of shade for relief from the blazing Eastern Washington sun. We had a great time as usual. Our time was spent playing at the beach, relaxing at camp, geocaching while getting firewood, and I even went out exploring a nearby Forest Service road. Not being real big on sitting and baking in the sun, I went on a drive up the lake and west across Shady Pass Road (narrow dirt/rock Forest Service Road connecting Lakeshore Drive and Entiat River Road). I stopped approximately 15 miles up the road at the site of a former forest fire lookout tower called Junior Point at an elevation of 6650 feet.
