Patoka Lake

A bit of nostalgia, Kent used to come here fishing with his Dad and this is the place that Brian and Mike most often came to fish with Delton.  It stirs a few memories.

The campground is quiet this early in the season.  We only had about 6 “neighbors” in a couple hundred sites when we arrived.  There are probably twenty or thirty sites occupied now and more folks arriving as we approach weekend.  Birds are singing.  Turtles, squirrels, and bunnies are everywhere.  We have enjoyed a couple beautiful, bright sunny days catching a few fish and watching eagles and osprey.  There are loons here too but I am still waiting to hear from them.

The sky turned an ominous gray and long rolls of thunder ran us off the lake early yesterday.  Today it is a misty/drippy rain.  Years ago we probably would have stuck it out and stayed on the lake but today but we called it quits around noon.  That’s a sign of maturity, right?
