Nationals 2007

Odell Lake

June,2007

    Arriving in camp after an easy walk in with camp on
   our backs. Met up with several sisters which  we had
   not seen in a year or so. We all set up camp close by
   each other, making the week full of fun and music.
   Met new people and made new friends. Fishing was
   good. Lots of fish caught by primitive means and
   shared with all. Several camp meals shared with good
   friends. Good talks around the campfire. Memories
   were made.
