June 26 - July 1, 2013 - Deka Lake

      Well today was going to be our last day on the road but after a phone call from Todd it was decided that we would join him at his cabin on the lake.  Probably a pretty good way to end almost 2 months travelling.

     There are going to be a gang of us so Richard and I get to work over the next couple of days gathering firewood, making pies and generally planning meals.  We will be also joined here by Joey, Ron, Quentin, Shannon, Brian and Ben.  Should be good times.

     The weather was a little iffie on Wednesday and Thursday but by Friday it was heating up.  Saturday, Sunday and Monday were scorchers and gave us an opportunity to get in some water sports.
