Sitting lakeside during the summer heat is another way to enjoy the PNW hot season. We’ll travel through the woods to Marcus Island.
Marcus Island is on Lake Roosevelt, below the settlement of Marcus. We’ve been here before, in the winter, click here to see it then. But, now with family, we’ll cool off, playing cards into the evening.
The views from here are always a treat. Hike along the beach, or under the trees, or on the east-side among the grasses.
A cool breeze off the lake makes for a summer evening that you wish would never stop. Gotta love a TC – get a little ice cream from the fridge, and play cards till the lights go out.
Mornings are spectacular too … a light mist covers everything until the sun rises above the eastern peaks. An ever so gentle breeze keeps the temperature down – this is the time to walk about.
Yup, there’s a song running through my head … “Summertime, and the livin’ is easy …”
Traveling Tortuga 
And ya skipped a verse :p.
Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high
Your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry
One of these mornings
You’re going to rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky
But till that morning
There’s a’nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high
Your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry
I’m not sure the travels of this summer can fill every verse … but then … summer’s not over yet!
