ANTHONY LAKE

August 2003 included a backpack/camping trip to Anthony Lake in the Elk Horn mountains near the historical town of Baker City, Oregon. The Lance family and the Staub family joined together to spend a week in this glorious country. Four members of our party made a 26 mile backpack trip while Pam and I stayed at camp with the kids. Cold lakes, warm sunshine, mountains, hiking, and good fellowship encompassed the whole experience. While the other members were on their backpack adventure, Pam and I hiked with the kids to various locations around Anthony Lake each day. It will be another experience that will carry fond memories of another time spent building and deepening friendships that come along only a few times within a person's life.
