Hartney Bay

Yesterday was a beautiful Summer day that felt more like a beautiful Spring day.  It was 63 and sunny so the kids and I got out of the house and spent a couple of hours at Hartney Bay.  It's five miles out Whitshed (pronounced Whiteshed) Road.  Austin and I learned that there are no fishing restrictions there so he took his pole in the hopes that he'd catch his first salmon.  Whitney and I went for a walk on a hiking trail while Austin fished.  It was so warm in the sun that I lay on the gravel and soaked it up!

You can see Cordova in the distance, on the right.

Look closely.  All those little dots are bugs.  There must have been millions of them.  When we walked toward them, they all took flight, but stayed close to the ground.  It was quiet enough that we could hear them swarm!
