Camp Crumster

 Saturday afternoon our great friends Mr & Mrs T invited us up to their camp at Lake Sacandaga. I had some orders to fill, and M had some work to do. But realistically, it was Saturday evening and the orders couldn't be shipped until monday anyway...so we took inspiration from Beca's post and took the evening off.


 The drive west to the lake was peaceful and stunning.


 Once we arrived and said our hellos, we walked down the short trail to the beach. It was still crowded with the pre-dinner camper crowd, so we decided to hold off on the beach until sunset.


 I brought along some Smart Dogs, whole wheat buns, and my go-to summer beer for 2012: Harpoon UFO.


 M housed practically this entire steak himself. 



 M was also psyched to drink some beer out of his brand new (to him) vintage Andre the Giant mug.


 The tall, old pines stood over us as we enjoyed our meal and conversation waiting for the sunset.


 Finally, it was time to walk back down to the beach.


 And the sunset was gorgeous.


After the sun had set, we gathered around the campfire. M & Mr T had to try out their new old man tobacco pipes and comment on how they are now officially old. It was a great night and I'm so glad we took the break to enjoy it!

a drive to the lake

 We took the '93 Rustang to our friend's camp this weekend.


 Cruising with the top down!





Sometimes being literally in the middle of nowhere is totally awesome.

camp crumster

 Our friends John & Shelly bought a camp this summer and invited us to come check out all the hard work they put into it in the past few weeks. So we hopped in the car for the hour drive to Lake Sacandaga.

 The drive took us through some very scenic, windy country roads. I love the sign to the right: Pony Parties!

 Camp Crumster is a vintage 1955 trailer with an enclosed porch addition, a great little deck, and a fire pit. Just yards from a private beach on the lake.


 Technically, Sacandaga Lake is a man-made reservoir.

 We took a walk down to the beach...

 Just in time to catch sunset! So beautiful.


Thank you John & Shelly for inviting us, we can't wait to come back when we can stay longer than a few hours!
