FUCK Pavement 2010: Baker Lake #1

[Shpongled]

I decided to change it from Concrete to Pavement because ironically enough, there's a town just outisde of Baker Lake called Concrete and it almost feels offensive to say FUCK Concrete when Baker Lake is so badass.

First camping trip of 2010. I've never been to Baker Lake before. It was awesome, but I think my friends hyped it up too much. Not as awesome as I was expecting. I had no idea it was a man made lake until someone told me as we were hiking into it. The mountain peaks were amazing for sure, but there's just something about the graveyard of tree stumps that man made lakes leave behind that makes them a bit unappealing.

Nonetheless, we had a great time even though we hiked in 4 miles just to come to a washed out bridge over a river and have to turn back to camp in the public campground area instead of on the much more epic other side, which you'll see in all these pics across the lake.

I love the west coast from northern california up, so nice! There is no other liberating feeling then getting in your car, driving out to a distant lake, and exploring the under-appreciated beauty of nature. I want to visit Washington sometime in the future.

Great pics Kevin.

Fantastic pics, and your new camera really does those panoramics good. Loved them all, but the misty clouds and flowers you showed last night are still my favorites. <3

Kevin needs to remake this gif.

Thats some awesome pics. Even for a manmade lake, it looks great!

kevin the colors look so shark and all photos look so in depth and awesome.. your new camera definitely rules!

I, however, am unimpressed with the lack of sharks.

Yeah, the lake itself isn't much to look. Is that all of it? Looks like a dried up pond. The rest of the area is ace though!

No it goes off to the right and opens WAY up. All the way at the other end there is a dam and that's how they regulate the level of the lake. Right now it's low because they opened the dam and drained the lake a while back. Eventually they'll close it and then the lake will fill back up. Although I've never seen it, apparently when it's full you don't see any tree stumps or land out there where you do now.
