Chris' 2008 Cottage Shots!
Well I've been a little tardy in updating my 2008 cottage thread. I've actually been taking a few pictures, although up until recently it's been tough to take many pics due to the weather.
According to the old weather man it's been the rainiest summer on record.
But I do have some, so I'll start putting some of the pics up.
Here's a few from July 13, 2008. It was quite windy on this day. During the week, we actually had our sailboat break loose from it's mooring. Same deal with the swim ramp a few days later. Yolie went diving and managed to find one anchor in about 6-7 feet of water but the other we lost. So we had to make another one.
Anyhoo, here are a few pics from July 13...

Here is the "Latin Lover" putting on the gear to attempt to go find the anchors.
She had no luck on this day as the water was way too murky, with the wind stirring everything up.
Hell of a look though eh? And if she mis-behaves any time soon, I'll post the better ones I've got!

Here's a few pics from August 16 - and also the evidence to why I haven't taken many pics and updated this thread on a regular basis.
It's been RAINING all summer!
Take a look at the water level. My little dock which is normally about a foot out of the water is submerged. At one point, I had rocks on it weighting it down so it wouldn't float away.

Yeah, I hear ya. It seems like just yesterday that I was posting the shots of us packing the truck to head up and open up.
Now we're also starting the slow process of putting everything away. We've got another eight weeks or so and it'll all be over for another year.
Oh well, there's always next year! And hopefully next year the weather will be a bit nicer and less rainy.

Here's a few of the walkway I've been working on for years. Every once in a while I add another step. I've done two or three this year. In these shots I'm digging out the hill, it's hard to tell in the pictures, but most of the hill is blue clay which isn't all that one to dig out. Hence why I just putz away at the walkway.
And here's a pic of a bunch of leaves that piled up out back. :yikes:
