Camping at Hartwick Pines State Park - Day 2

We started our second day with Jenny hanging out at the campsite as Megan got over her tummy ache. So Ben and I took a short morning hike to a beautiful lake called Bright Lake. It's one of those perfect inland lakes that can be found all over northern Michigan. In fact, the lake reminded me a lot of the lakes you find in the mountains of Colorado...just without the peaks in the background.
After our hike we went back to camp and got ready for our fishing trip with Kelvyn and his family (Jeff, Glynith, and their daughter Karalyn). Ben's starting to develop a healthy interest in fishing, so recently Jenny got the kids new fishing poles (Spider-Man for Ben, and Disney for Megan.) I even gave Megan's pole a try even though it was pink. Well...we didn't catch any fish, but I would say the two lakes we fished were the most scenic I've ever fished. I was more interested in the scenery than anything else.
Later in the day our whole group took a hike on the "Old Growth Trail." In the 1880's Hartwick Pines was a logging camp, so the trail exposes you to old trees that are still alive from that time, as well as some of the old buildings and tools that they used back then.
At the end of the day we all cooked hot dogs over the fire and made some chili. Then for desert we made fruit pies out of bread and pie filling. Delicious!
