Lost Lake / El Lago Perdido
We had a lovely weekend at Lost Lake on Mt Hood. There was a lot of wildlife, including this chipmunk!

Tuvimos una bonita fin de semana en el Lago Perdido en Monte Hood. Fue muchos animales incluido esta ardillita



We arrived around 11:30 and the campground was packed!!! We got literally the last camping spot and there were several other cars trolling for sites. We were extremely lucky.

Llegamos a las 11:30 y el campamiento fue muy lleno!! Conseguimos el ultimo espacio y fue muchos otros carros que estaban buscando para espacios. Tuvimos mucha suerte

Here are some pics of our camp site / Aqui estan algunas fotos del nuestro espacio

Carlos in the picnic area. There is a place for a tent just beyond the picnic table / Carlos en el area de picnic. Hay un lugara para la carpa detras de la mesa.



The fire pit / El area de fuego :)



The other tent area. This was a really nice secluded area to pitch our tent. We also brought the canoe up here behind us when we went to bed, but many people left their canoes & kayaks minimially locked up on their cars.

La otra area de carpa. Fue un buen lugar muy escondido para poner la carpa. Tambien pusimos la canoa detras de la carpa en la noche, pero muchas personas dejaron sus canoas y kayaks con minima seguridad sobre sus carros.



We had a nice lunch, with Inca Corn! This is a snack from Peru, recently we started getting it at a local grocery store. In Peru they have enormous corn, this is basically a fried corn snack.

Tuvimos un buen almuerzo con Inca Corn! Podimos conseguirlo en una tienda local.





On to the lake! / Hasta el lago!

What a picture, hot guy with Mt Hood behind! / Que foto, un chico simpatico con Monte Hood atras!



We are very sure this was a bald eagle. There were actually a few of them overhead. White head, white tail. This was the closest picture we could take, we will have to add binoculars to our canoeing gear!

Estamos seguros que esta fue un aguila. Algunas volaron arriba sobre nosotros. Cabeza blanca, cola blanca. Esta foto es lo mas cerca que pudimos tomar, necesitamos anadir binoculares a nuestras cosas de canotaje.

Since there wasnt any rain in the forecast we didnt put up the rainfly. We didnt count on morning mist being that we were higher up on the mountain. This is a pic of the INSIDE of the tent

Como no hubo pronostico de lluvia no pusimos la cobertura para lluva sobre la carpa. En la manana hizo un poco de lluvia porque estuvimos arriba en la montana. Esta foto es DENTRO de la carpa



Carlos went for a walk early in the morning. There was still some snow on the lake trail

Carlos camino al lado del lago temprano en la manana. Todavia hubo un poco de nieve en el camino.



Even though it had rained I managed to start a fire with one match :) / Anque hizo lluvia empezi el fuego con un fosforo!



Here is some inside-out flower / Aqui estan algunas flores que se llaman "inside-out flower"



I think this is false solomon's seal / Creo que esta flor se llama "false solomon's seal"



We had lunch on the way back home in the gorge at Wahkeena Falls.
