Guernsey Reservoir

For Labor Day weekend we arranged a big group camp out at Guernsey Reservoir in Wyoming, it was our first time there, and pretty much our first success at getting the large group together. First off I owe a big thanks to Scott Hoyt for taking most of these photos, and even more for relieving me of my typical photography duties...it was nice to not have to be the one running to get the camera out all the time. Everyone had a good time, I know all the kids did, all 6 of them that were 3 and under. We had great weather overall with warm temps, which in this area you can have 90's or snow at the first of September, so it was a gamble. There weren't all that many other boaters there, so we had lots of water sport opportunities, and when the wind kicked up it was great tubing conditions...I think pretty much everyone got their chance for a wet and wild ride!The beach and view of our bay from our campsite on the shore
