Cooper Lake

Welcome to Chaos !!

Cooper Lake

Hiiiiiii I'm back! I went camping therefore I was missing in action here for a few days. So this time I went back to a perfect and secluded camping spot on Cooper Lake, I was there last year too. I would say it's only accessible by a vessel of some sort with a motor but today a crazy (as in crazy determined and crazy strong) couple paddled their way there. Not sure if it took them half the day but that is way too much work for me. I can paddle for about 30 minutes and then I'm done. Exhausted.
So this is from the other side of Cooper Lake before heading out to the camping spot, the sun was setting. The spot is across the lake and some ways further along.



Arrived at the spot. The first thing you need is shelter (so says Bear Grylls too) and Chhaya agrees. She loves to sprawl out on the sleeping bag and takes up most of the room, it's all about her - the princess.



It's a gorgeous spot, next to a very lively creek. Ice cold too.







There were 13 little white dots moving around and upwards on that green mountain over there. Some kind of a sheep or mountain goat. Last year I spotted one across the creek kind of close by.



Camping is not camping without a nice and hot campfire.



I could not relax this time. I felt bored and I felt anxious. I wanted to go home and I wanted to stay. Not sure why. I was also super sore in my back from sleeping on a too small air mattress fighting for room to stretch out in a comfortable position with Chhaya. I think I'm getting too old for camping. It's RV time. I am officially a fogbone. But Chhaya enjoyed her time and that means a lot to me.



I got a latte from Kaladi when driving through town on the way home, only had one small cup of coffee when camping because camping coffee tastes off to me. I guess I can go without coffee and not go crazy which is good. Now I know that. When I got home I had tons of stuff to unload, made me realize even more that camping takes a lot of effort. At least when I go camping. I took a much needed shower, scrubbed my face and body, brushed my teeth and put on some fresh jammies. Got comfortable in bed with some ice cream. And didn't even finish it! I think I might be over the Limoncello kind, probably gorged myself on those.



I was also not too happy to notice that it is completely dark out by midnight now, no more midnight jogging or walking Chhaya. The days are getting shorter. That feels kind of sad.
I was so happy to get home. Seriously, there is no place like home. My home is here in Kenai, in Vegas and in Stockholm. I'm confused.
