Looking Forward To Another Lake Trip

On Sunday my Dad, Stepmom, Brother, Sister-In-Law and myself head back to Raystown Lake for a few days (see my report from last year's trip HERE). I wonder if any of these fellas (above) will be there?

I Promise: This Is My Last "Lake" Post

Raystown Lake

Via Wikipedia:

Raystown Lake is the largest lake located entirely within Pennsylvania. It was created by the United States Army Corps of Engineers around 1913 by the damming of the Juniata River which created a lake in the river valley. The current 8,300-acre (34 km2) Raystown Lake was completed in 1973 by the Army Corps of Engineers. The lake was created primarily to control floods, provide electricity and support recreational activities. 

Part of the town of Aitch is now under the level of the lake. While it is rumored that there are entire towns (and dead bodies of towns people who refused to leave) still intact under the water, only a few more permanent structures were left in place. Some roads, a bridge over the old river, the original power station and the original dam still remain.

On our way to the lake, my brother told me the story (above) about the Army flooding the existing farms in the valley to create the lake. When I asked him why they would do such a thing, he replied (matter-of-factly): "Zombies". Someone needs to change the Wikipedia entry to:

"The lake was created primarily to control floods, provide electricity, support recreational activities and to destroy a colony of Zombies."

Brother Bunny has to wear a long-sleeved shirt because
he's a soulless Ginger extremely fair-skinned

Boat Dock (one of many)

There were lots of shirtless guys on boats, although I couldn't
take pics while drinking beer swimming

The Great White 'Nope'

I'm behind in my posting today - still trying to get caught up at home/work. Look for the DustBunny Good Days Initiative results post later - as well as one more big post with pics from my weekend trip.

In the meantime, here is a sexxxxaaaaay photo of my lily-white self swimming at the lake - complete with shirt, hat and tons of sunscreen.

You're welcome.

The Cabin

Living Room

View from the back deck - nothing but nature.

"And the winner of 'Design Star: Country Cabin' is ..."

Yes, I built this fire on Saturday. I'm a raging flamer, FYI.

The cabin we stayed at this weekend was pretty much perfect. It had two levels, was clean-as-a-whistle, quiet, private and had fabulously kitchsy decor. We're already making plans for next year.
