We camped at Daisy State Park until Thursday, then we drove to Greers Ferry to check that lake out.... Daisy is a nice park and Lake Greeson is nice as well. We only had our fishing boat with us, so we couldn't play a lot but we fished and found a nice cove to swim and float around on one hot afternoon.
George is a pyromaniac! He loves to build fires, so we had one most nights...and he's got a man crush on that little shovel that he bought just for the camp fires.
This is going to be one of those mushy moments.... It seems that George makes all of my dreams come true. Since I've met George, I've done so many things that I always wanted to do....and one of those things happens to be seeing the Cossatot River. Years ago I saw a picture of the Cossatot River and decided then that I would like to see that river in person....Well... here she is....
A very calm looking river at this point.....
This is Cossatot Falls...there are these huge rocks all around this area. I couldn't find a place to take a photo of them all... but they go across the river and then for quite a ways down the river.
At the time, that area hadn't had much rain so the river was low...I know it has some serious rapids on it when the level is right. I could have spent all day climbing around those rocks at the falls!
I wonder how much rain reached that river from the awful floods that came to the Little Missouri River and Caddo rivers soon after we left the camp at Daisy....about 12 miles from the camp ground at Langley. However, we were on the lake, not a river.
We were quite lucky to be out of the area though.
While we were gone, we went to the Crater of Diamonds too. I have to say...I am not a diamond digger....I might go again some time, if I'm with someone that just really wants to go, but it would have to be in the cool of spring or fall. It's just a huge plowed field and there is nothing like digging in the dirt in the hot sun and being all sweaty...not really my thing.
Greers Ferry was a bit disappointing in that only one campground had water hookups...and it wasn't the one we really wanted to stay at...and it was rainy on Friday...so we spent most of that day driving around looking at the area.
Anyway...all in all it was a very nice vacation! Relaxed and lazy...and I got a lot of reading time too.
