Higgins Lake Trip

I can still remember the trip we took to Higgins Lake. There is was Matt our friend Will and I loading up in Matt's 89 Gmc pick up truck. It was a tight fit It felt like I was getting constricted like a boa consricter does to its pray. Here I am in the middle of two huges guys. Matt was about 315lbs and Will was about 295lbs and then that lives me about 125lbs sopping wet and that is on a good day. We left Matt's house at about 2 am and it take 3 hours or more to get there. We got about half way and it just started raining like cats and dogs. Unfortunately we didn have a top or a cover over the back were all of our camping stuff was, at one point it was raining so hard that we had to pull over just until the rain let up some. I think that we arrived at the camp ground at about 8 am. Needless to say that we got lost on the way. I really hate getting lost and to be between those tow guys was torch er. After a few hours of sleep we went into town and grabbed a bit to eat and then heading to the lake. I have never heard of Higgins Lake before this trip and I thought it was going to another lake and nothing special. I have never been so wrong in my life. It was a clearest and cleanest lake I have ever been to. The water tasted like aquafina but it felt like you fell through the ice in the winter time that is how cold the water was. We only stayed there for a week but it was really nice to get away for a while and really relax. Those are the memories that I enjoy the most with Matt.
