It's so dry in Lake Chelan area

Last weekend we went to Lake Chelan area for the first time. I didn't want to go there at first, coz I know it's desert area and it's corwded, and our experience this time proved that I was right.

It's desert, so drrrrry. Not only the air, I feel my skin is shrinking too. So dry. and I wanted to see some green so badly. I didn't realize how much I love trees and forest, until I came to the desert. You must think I've never been to a desert, but you are wrong, I've been to New Maxico, and Lake Chelan totally reminds me how I felt in New Maxico -- I missed trees.

There are some good things about this area, first it's hot. I felt like getting more sunburn than the rest of the summer. And I don't like the feeling coz I grow freckles easily. But also bcoz it's hot, the water was warmer, and we got to play more water sports, such as jetski or simply swimming.

However, hot weather also bring bugs, a lot of bugs. We got surrounded by bees in our campsite, and one of my friends got stung. I felt sorry for her and seriously, I hate bugs, and I don't think we will go back to that campsite again.

Another good thing about Lake Chelan area is that the weather was warmer and nicer, since it doesn't rain as much as Seattle area. We enjoyed nice weather and took a lot of photos with bright blue sky. The colors of desert and sky created a strong contrast in the photo.

Alright, enough talking, check photos below and enjoy them. Be sure to leave me some comments :) one more thing, all photo copyright reserved.

dry?
You should have heard of the terrible flood happening in New Orlean. I could hardly believe they're deserting the entire city.

Hi Eric, thanks for visiting. Try to visit Lake Chelan area sometimes, I think it's pretty fun, you can totally enjoy water activities, and in winter, they even have snowmobile.

Franny, do you want a catalog of Abercrombie & Fitch?

Beta Cam is a kind of camcorder, just a different format from DvCam, miniDV, and Hi8. It's old and using a super big tape, bigger than VHS. Check out wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betacam
