Lost Lake

We took a trip out to Lost Lake this past weekend. It was hot here for this part of the country and we knew that the Oregon coast was going to be a hot mess with traffic, so we decided to venture to the Mt Hood area. One of the lakes that I have most wanted to go to since we have moved here was Lost Lake. In the pictures that I looked at online it just seemed like a cool place to go. It took us two hours to get there as once you got off of the highway there was just one looonnnngggg road in and the same llllooooonnnngggg road out.  The drive was worth it though as Bob and I got to see some of the largest pine trees we have ever seen, the water was crystal clear throughout a good portion of the lake (even in the spots where it was clearly above our heads), and it wasn't so crowded that you couldn't enjoy yourself.

This tree trunk may not look very big, but it was H-U-G-E. The trees surrounding this trunk were your regular sized pine trees. Look how little this big guy makes them look!
