Campsite №1 營地一號

@ South Arm Knife Lake

We spent three nights at this campsite for a good reason. The front of the campsite has this giant rock jetting out into the water, giving us an easy access to the water for swimming and fishing, as well as a panoramic view that we never got tired of. We didn’t know until the second morning that it’s actually also a picture-perfect place for viewing sunrise! We were happy here!

The view

豪宅的廚房有個大窗戶望海,也不過如此吧。哈哈!

剛到,一卸完行李搭好帳篷,大家就各自啟動自己認識環境的模式。小朋友沒釣過魚,匆匆拿了釣竿就往水邊去。一開始連怎麼甩釣竿都還不會,更不知道哪裡才有魚得釣。兩個傻不隆咚的站在岸邊探頭探腦。啊反正老爸老媽也不是釣魚神手,問我們也沒有用。自己看著辦是唯一學習的方法啦!

First things first, testing out fishing rods.

甩了幾次,慢慢抓到魚竿的訣竅了,一家四口於是輪流釣魚去。河的對岸比較深,我們決定划到那試試運氣。結果這兩隻狗運真好,居然沒多久就釣到魚咧!玩樂第一天,就有鮮魚可以吃。這兩隻嚐到甜頭,之後的幾天就嚷著要釣魚做釣魚夢。一開始有的時候媽媽帶,有的時候爸爸帶,後來索性自己出動。有一次,哥哥看到弟弟跟爸爸在對岸釣魚,還乾脆游泳游過去湊熱鬧。最後一天,媽媽剛好在游泳,順便幫忙探測一下水裡哪有魚,這樣合作無間也不錯!

fishing was surely one of the highlights of this trip. the bottom two pics were trying to capture K swimming over to the other side to meet up with daddy and L, who were fishing at the moment.

Sunrise. Sunset. 日出日落

每天晚上八點半就寢,不用鬧鐘,也睡飽飽起個正早看日出。在這的三個早上,湖水皆一片寂靜,一點水波水紋也沒有,像一面大鏡子一樣。太陽從同個地方跳出來,但每天有不一樣的雲彩襯托,各有各的美。哥哥通常那時已經起床,偶爾會探探頭瞄一下日出,但爸爸跟弟弟都還在睡,所以大石頭理所當然只有媽媽獨佔,獨享清晨變幻無窮的光彩。拍照拍最多的時刻非此莫屬啦。

這裡看不到日落。但夕陽無限好的氛圍還是深深感受的到。

Our “rooms” 我們的『房間』

順道提一下我們營地的模樣,就知道我為什麼這麼喜歡這!

船停好後上階梯,就是有著無敵湖景的廚房跟客廳。後方順著步道走,十呎右方有條約八十呎的路可通達露天景觀廁所。若不去廁所,繼續往前走,二十呎左邊是個小空間,我們搭了兩個吊床,供白天發呆睡午覺用。三十呎跟四十呎處,則各有個小空間,可搭營帳。麻雀雖小,五臟俱全。也因為這狹長的設計,多了隱密性,讓住在這的時候,一家人互不干擾,很愜意。

next to the main area, there is a short path leading to other “chambers.”
80 feet to our latrine with a gorgeous woody view. :)

We sunbathed, stared at the water and sky, read, played games, and did so many other things on this giant rock. It’s a great place to be.
