Lake Mayfield

We had a great time at Lake Mayfield, a gorgeous  jewel halfway between Portland and Seattle up Hwy 12 toward White Pass.    Less than an hour and a half away it's just the right distance for a quick weekend retreat.

We stayed at one of the waterfront RV spots at the Lake Mayfield Resort and Marina.  They've got it all here - rustic inn, cabins, RV hookups, tent camping, restaurant, meeting spaces and marina.   We were there on one of the few Saturday nights they don't have a DJ and music playing in the lakeside dance pavilion - so we'll definitely be back!  This is an ideal site for family reunions.

Duncan swears he saw a baby otter when we rented the little aluminum chriscraft for an hour.

He also swears he saw some rabbits. If Eva's subsequent headstand into a rabbit hole was any indication she saw them too. Then again she's known to dive headfirst at any slimy slimy slug, snail or stinky thing so it may have just been some more worm guts left by an eager angler.    Lake Mayfield is known for their trophy Tiger Muskee. We did see several fish jumping right below us next to the dock.  Both boys tried their luck, got a few bites but no joy.
