Number 6 was Xenia's idea. It's not like that was spontaneous or anything. We tried that shot several times and I think I could have done better if I had taken the time and hadn't been so distracted. I was in a hurry because I was worried about the boat starting. We had problems with the battery going dead earlier and I was afraid it might happen again (I was right to be worried). Still, it was a great idea for a picture. I just wish I had framed the shot better.
Number 2 was my idea. I think it would have been a little better picture if Barb and I were about 1/3 down from the top rather than centered vertically.
Number 4 is my favorite but then I'm biased for a couple of reasons. 1) I'm pretty sure that is the place I took our kids for their first backpacking trip about 12 or 13 years ago (Xenia, what year was it?). 2) I took the picture.
The lake is formed by the Dworshak dam on the North Fork of the Clearwater river not just "Clearwater river" as Xenia said. It's a nick-picky point, but that's the type of person I am.
The water is currently at 1526 feet above sea level where the full level (the obvious high water mark on the bank) is 1600 feet. The water is drawn down for generation of electrical power, flood control, and things like flushing young steelhead and salmon out to sea.
