Finally found some time to make this thread! 
My SO, Derek, and I went camping for our honeymoon down in Southern Indiana at Racoon Lake in a DNR State Park. Then a few days after we returned, some friends of ours moved from Texas to Indiana, so haven't had much time to sit to make a post.
We took the dogs with us and borrowed my Aunts boat, went out on the water every day to go fishing. I told Derek that if we couldn't afford to go someplace out of country that, that would be ok as long as I could go fishing every day(I love fishing)! We pulled into the park right around 8pm and of course it was already dark and the heavens were just pouring on us. The weather was a bit discouraging but the last few days was nothing but sun and I even got a nice tan out on the water as if we spent our honeymoon in the tropics, lol.
I caught 8 fish, Derek didn't catch any until the last day. We decided to go out for a few hours before sunset and he finally got a bite, reeled him in, and it was just a teeny little guy no bigger than 4 inches. Hehe..We also saw a bald eagleflying overhead but I didn't bring the camera that one time..darn. The dogs had a blast, and slept hard every night...except we had some visitors...raccoons! And, unfortunately they must've been fed by others before because they were not scared of us! Once they realized we didn't have any food and they heard the dogs, they didn't come back.
Well, here are a few pics and a few headshots of Java and Paige in their awesome leather rolled martingale collars that we got from Katja at Euro Dog Designs with the gift certificate from her summer contest. The collars are just great and it's a shame Hurtta isn't making leather anymore.
Java and Paige took turns sitting on the seat next to me. Paige begging for her turn.
Java being a silly girl, sniffing the outside air coming through the vent.
Our camp site after we packed everything up. Leave your site how you found it as if you were never there!
We were trolling through the reservoir and I caught....someone else's line and hook through less than an inch hoop..Who knows how long that's been there!
The trees are starting to turn colors!
We're coming from the reservoir and just around this corner is the creek that runs into the lake.
I never realized Indiana could be pretty, thought it was nothing but some hills and corn fields.
Do not climb!
Paige thinks this is all boring.
Catch! White Bass
The way back has the wind blowing towards us, so Paige snoozes on the way back.
Few people were out sailing.
Some storm cells we were racing against on the way back.
Time to go home!
I love this shot of Paige. We did like we do when taking pictures of horses. Take a rock or something and lightly toss it directly in front of the animal and you'll get this nice, arched neck look.

Wonderful pictures, just wonderful. Beautiful
