Camping at Strawberry Reservoir

We packed up the trailer and headed out to nearby Strawberry reservoir for a few days of camping fun. We meet up with the Fitlows and the Sundahl's at Strawberry Bay campground. It was beautiful weather and we enjoyed the day at the reservoir catching crawdads for our supper. I have to admit I have never seen, heard, or caught a crawdad in my life, so it was a first for all of us. The kids, from age 4-14 enjoyed catching the little lobster-like critters. Some were caught with nets, some were caught by hand, and some were caught with a chicken drumstick on a string. All of the kids got into the action and had a memorable time on our first crawdad hunt! Here's a ton of pictures from the hunting:










Together we caught over 200 crawdads and the Sundahl's cooked a feast that night for us. More of that in my next post!
