Lake Wynootchee

Literally as the other campers were pulling out of Ocean City and heading home, the skies turned blue!!!  Lucky for us, our adventures on the coast weren't ending.

We headed through the mountains....LITERALLY....to Lake Wynootchee.
Turns out Google Maps don't always take you where you ought to be.  We mapped our route from Ocean City to Lake Wynootchee before we left, knowing that cell service might be spotty once we got out there.  So, we followed the route given to us.  Ummm....the road began just fine and turned out to be a single lane dirt road for miles and miles and miles.  Now, this would have been fine other than the 27' fifth-wheel behind us.  We were sweating it....and just about had a heart attack when we saw that the bridge over a ravine had been washed out.  Luckily it was passable with a couple of boards set across.....talk about holding your breath across.  Oh man.
We were fully convinced that there wouldn't be anyone else at this totally "remote" campground after the drive we had just done.  
We crested a final hill into the campground and saw big RV's pulling boats, etc.  
So....there is OBVIOUSLY a different way to get there. (Let's just say we left that way the next day!)

The campground was beautiful.



The sun was shining....the weather was beautiful.
The lake was amazing.

The water felt cold.

The lake is held back by a big dam....

It made for some fun swimming and jumping off the floating dock!


We will DEFINITELY go back!!!
