I’m still at the coast but I’m going to backtrack nearly four weeks and show you folks some of the other pictures I took at Lake Billie Chinook.
After a day of fun on the lake, several of us who weren’t drunk (I don’t get drunk but I have friends that do…) headed up to Bob & Linda’s place. It’s their get away place. It sits on one of the many plateu’s around the lake but unlike Gordon’s place, it has a view. So I took several pictures of the sunset.
First, a picture of their house, and note that there is no railing around the deck. Linda stepped right off the edge several years ago:

But it seems they finally finished and she is feeling really well right now.

Right off the edge of the cliff. It’s around 12 feet down. It’s a wonder he wasn’t killed. I took the first shot of this series, the house, from the edge of this. Gives you an idea of how far from the house he was. And his feeble cries went unanswered for quite a while, he laid down there for an hour I was told:
