Some Time at Crosswind Lake

Crosswind Lake is a quiet oasis that looks out onto the gigantic Wrangell mountains. It was extremely relaxing out there.

 

Rapheal taught me how to make sky lanterns, and once we launched the first one I was totally hooked. They are seriously fun.

 

We lit them off during the day and at night, but I think I like the night ones best.

Rapheal tried a little ice fishing, but either we weren't patient enough or  there weren't any fish around.  Mostly just a way to pass the day and an excuse to be in the sun.
