It was mid summer and weather was perfect. Hot and sunny for the weekend. My buddy Ben called me and asked if I wanted to come boating Saturday. I had no plans so said I was down and asked who else was coming. His Gf Kim obviously and another buddy Matt was all that said yes so far. I didn’t care I was happy to get out on the water and out of the heat a bit.
We planned to camp on a secluded beach up the lake from standard campgrounds to keep private. Just what we always do. Matt and I arrived at the lake and hopped in the boat with Ben and Kim. We took off and left the busy park side behind. Once we got to a nice area far from roads we pulled up to the beach and unloaded coolers and camp gear. We had a nice area with a few trees and a small sandy beach.
