Overhyped

This past weekend we went awa to the mountains for the weekend. I'd found a place called "Bear River Lake" in one of my guidebooks and it looked like a great place to stay.

But the problem was, it was over advertised to the hilt.

Cabin= trailer

Beach= rocks and dirt

Playground= a squeaky swing set and a kids basketball hoop without net

This was a bluer collar redneck place if I've ever seen one. ATVs all over the place. Our neighbors (in the TRAILER next to us) were nice enough folks. We tlaked with them a bit and their kids, about age 8, played basketball with Caleb. But after that, it was Lynard Skynard everywhere and Budweiser cans all over the place.

The lake, though, was gorgeous. We took our raft and played in the lake for a long time and hiked down to the other side where the dam was.

We probably won't ever go there again. It;s not the gold standard, like Sorensens is.
