We held a family camping trip at Jones Bay, hoping for five days of hiking and canoeing. 
Our son Taraz flew in from Denver, Rahmat also joined us.
We rented a truck for the occasion, a huge, white double cab 2012 Silverado. When we drove into our favorite campsite blaring 'truck music' Rue and Annie were already camping, with meat on the grill.
I served this lentil dosi crepe with tarka dhal for an afternoon snack.We spent only two days camping at Jones Bay because 96 degree temps made hiking impossible. George and I did a 5 hour canoe paddle on the one full day we were there, and it was wonderful, refreshing. We paddled over to Steamboat Campground and got great espresso, fish and chips.
A terrible wind-rainstorm pummeled the tents that night, brought on by the heat. The families decided to split up. Rue and Annie headed over to Montana, George and I drove across the mountains down to Packwood, where the temps were in the low 70's. What a change! Loved it.
We rented a little cabin with a kitchenette for two days, and we did our hiking and canoeing for several days using the cabin as basecamp. It worked out great!
So many photos! Flickr set here:
