| July, the finest month to be up north. The last full week had heat, calm, and much needed rain. |
| The animals are active. This group of men (and one woman) were using dogs to track and remove a bear. They chased it from Roberts Lake to the east shore of Lucerne and then to parts beyond. |
| The hummingbirds are also active. |
| Many mornings, there was a fresh coat of water on the deck. Some of the night rain came gently. Some did not. |
| The sky during some of the less gentle storms was quite spectacular. |
| The ski show is in its summer prime. I have MPGs of all the acts and will be posting the entire show by week's end. |
| The heat pushed us into and under the water for much of the week. |
| The "cannon ball" dive is much more interesting when viewed under the water. |
| The fish stayed below the surface of the lake the whole time. |
| With the resolution turned down, the webcam is now live. Please use it in a responsible manner. |
| There were several "bar nights" during the week. Most of the participants were of legal drinking age, but now that I see some of the pictures I'm not so sure of that guy on the left. |
| As bar nights went longer the dice games became more risky due to "exotic" creations dreamed up by the crispy. |
| All were asleep before the sun came up, but not much before. |
| The moon grew larger as the days passed. By the end of the week it would have washed out stars near it, if not for the cloudy night sky. All the rain has pushed the lake level up near the nail. A dry August should bring it down a bit by September. We'll be up to measure it again mid month. |
