Red Shirt Lake

If you don't pack it...you don't have it.  This concept becomes a little more critical when you have small people.  Our first experience proved successful.  Yes, we overpacked, but nothing super important was forgotten.  Our little man even managed to bring along a few cars.

It was great to be on the water!  Brian looks a little serious, but he is really just super relaxed. 

Megan and Omar found our cabin.  Pretty fantastic to have your own island.

You have to find your wood.  Our island was really picked over so we canoed to a different piece of land and literally loaded one of our canoes to the top.  Didn't have the camera along for that adventure.

Time to fall asleep in the midnight sun!

Good Morning!!!

Morning ride with aunt Megan and Omar.  Good stuff!!

We had our own island on Red Shirt Lake.  We had a roof over our heads ~ public use cabin number 3 at Nancy Lake State Recreational Area and canoes and two feet as our mode of transportation.  The hike in was 3 miles followed by a quick relaxing canoe ride.  Success!  http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/units/nancylk/nancylk.htm
