Memories of the summer

Just got done digging through the 30 gigs of pictures we have stored on our external hard drive. When I came to these few pictures I took of the secret lake my buddy and found last summer. No one goes there and the only way in is through a farmers field. I really hope it stays that way cuz its really like our own personal playground. These were taken the last time we went in September. Enjoy.

hahaha, just like me and my friends, no action shots because we're all riding and nobody is running the camera.

Looks like just a fantastic spot, I'm rather jealous!

It was bout 20km/h wind when we went that evening. Its an hour drive, by the time we got all set up the wind dropped to about 10km/h. Which is why you see my scorpion laying flat in the background. It was forecast to pick up so we waited. With a full moon round 10:30 the winds picked up and we were able to get the kites in the air. Ten minutes later we packed up cause it started gusting to 60km/h. I did get to watch my buddy flying his cult cruise on the water right across the beam of light from the full moon. Kinda reminded me of that full moon scene off E.T. No real flying that night but turned to be a good time anyway.
