2012.05.23 Bear Lake State Park

Bear Lake State Park—cows to the left, big lake to the right. It was so windy and cold during te night. I missed my sweet Georgia humidity so bad.

So, a little about Bear Lake—it’s a graben, it was formed by upthrown faults. The lake is very long, because it was probably a river that was naturally dammed when the  horst  (the mountains) were forced upward.  Some  of the evidence to that  are  soft sediment deposition, trees that were in areas that were covered with salt water,  and terraces along the sides that show the river flowed further than the lake.

Guess when we set up camp.

Actually, setting up camp late every night became fun after while. We look like we're having fun, right?
