Lake Imagination

Lake Imagination!

In celebration of Jeff, Andrea, Matt and I all being in the same general area, my parents have bought a lot on this lake in Larkspur.  It is more like Greenland, because it is about 1/2 hour from their house in Larkspur.  Anyway.

The lake has a slalom course down the length of it and an extra "tumor" area that can be used for swimming, non power sports, wakeboarding, tubing, fishing, etc.

There is a turn island at one end.


From the top of this rock where these pictures are taken you can see a long way (Pikes Peak).  I have skiied there once a few years ago, and my parents have been out to check it out a lot lately.  The views are very good they say.


We are very excited to get a boat and get skiing!  The elevation is 7200 feet, so it will be a little colder than the 80 degree water that we are skiing in right now.  But once this lake freezes over we can switch skiing sports and move onto the next one!

This is just a lot, we don't plan on building a house on it or anything.  Hopefully in the future we will build a bathroom :)  Closing is at the end of the month, so hopefully everything goes through!  Come visit...Matt will teach you how to ski!  (He has volunteered himself as Head Maintenance to earn the right to ski there.  I have volunteered him as Head Coach as well).

We just went hiking out there, and posted more pictures on Facebook.

I am sooo jealous. It looks awesome

Apparently, when there is snow on the banks but no ice on the lake, they ski behind the boat on a wakeboard, and go off the water, turn in the snow on the bank, and then back into the water. Now that we have to try!

Need to take video of that.
