Monday we decided to head out in search of some new camping spots. Our destination was Olive Lake, near Ukiah/Granite area. After 30 miles down a gravel road....we found it. The temperature in Pendleton was 70, but when we reached the lake it was a chilly 48. I'm sure glad that I didn't leave the house wearing a tank top and shorts. Chris tried to build a fire, but the wood was too wet. The guys fished a little, Evan threw rocks in the water and we had an enjoyable day!

If you've never been to Granite, its quite the experience. The roads are dirt, the houses look like they all would blow down in a strong wind, and it is in the middle of no where.

Chris's dream home :)
wood steel banded pipe used to transport water from Olive lake to the Fremont Powerhouse.
The Powerhouse produced electricity for the miners & was built 106 years ago. That was your history lesson for the day :)

I know this one is sideways, but here's Evan playing in the snow.
