We Went West...

You know when I set out to create Tainted Waters I never really knew where it was going. Shh, don't tell anyone. But it's true. When I came up with the idea, which really started with my fascination with people who own a cabin at the lake. I think that's awesome but it seems that on weekends everyone leaves the city and goes to their cabin at the lake, turning it into a city. I love the water but not crowded lakes. So we were trying to find a lake that wasn't so busy.

Well we found one to go camping at. We went out west (and you know what happened with all the surprises they received back in the good old days) well so did we. Maybe not quite the same but still... We found this lake that had a beautiful setting, seemed quiet, not a lot of people there, so we camped. The lake was great for canoeing but was a bit reedy and really not all that big but fine for our purposes. It was a beautiful sunny day and there had been a stream that someone dug out to be more of a canal leading out the lake. It was a great place for the kids to play. We had lots of fun. Then it became dark out time. And lo and behold big trucks drive up and down the road all night. Now I'm not sure if we just didn't pay attention during the day or if things happen after dark but we never noticed...
