West Shore Camping

My roommates and I, along with a few others, decided to go camping at West Shore State Park last weekend. Then went to the Wild Mile Rafting Festival in Big Fork, MT.

West Shore State Park is on Flathead Lake, the largest lake in the coterminous United States. It is the cleanest in the world for its' size and type. From the campsite in May, you look across the turquoise water of the lake at the still snow dusted Mission Mountains.

Felesha and I arrived in the afternoon and set up our campsites. Then scrambled down the cliffside to sit by the water and roam around the rocky shore.

We stayed up late by the fire and had a few beers and laughs. We got a little crazy drawing pirate facial hair on our faces with charcoal... Don't ask, I don't think we even know. But we did laugh until our abs were sore.

The next morning we made an epic pan of scrambled eggs and headed to Bigfork Whitewater Festival.

There were SO many people there, and it was kind of hard to see the rafters. We ended up leaving after the "Expert Slalom" event because we were all pretty tired, thirsty and sunburned.
