Glendo in August

After attempting a trip to Guernsey Reservoir, only to find there were no suitable campsites left, we went the additional 30 miles to Glendo, where we were surprised to see how high the water still was, and even more impressive the level that the water reached earlier in the summer. The first night we just found a place to pitch the tent as it was an hour or so past darkness, but the next morning we drove around to find one of our usual sites still vacant. The weather was perfect the entire weekend, and we had some great company. I guess I must have been having too much fun, because I only seemed to take photos for a couple minutes out of the entire trip, but you get the idea!!!

Our private bay, or so it turned out thanks to the water still being so high and very poor access


Looking out towards the main body of the lake, notice the perfectly straight line of leaves on the trees which marks the high water line, a good 20 feet above it's current height
