Today is our last day at the ranch and fortunately, it was also a day off! We went to Recapture Lake, a 250 acre, 150 foot deep, man-made lake only a few minutes away from Monticello. We brought two pontoon boats, two kayaks, fishing poles, and a dog; it was a truly relaxing day at the lake. Our intention was to catch dinner, we brought all the cooking supplies and even a watermelon. Yet, as luck would have it, we arrived at the lake just as soon as thunderstorms started to role in. After minutes of deliberation whether or not we would take our half metal boats into the lake, we finally left, defeated, and went to the museum.
After about an hour of touring the museum lobby (the entrance fee was $5 and no one wanted to pay it, we can learn enough in the lobby we all said)...the storm rolled through and we raced back to the lake for sun and fun. We had pontoon boats, kayaks, and plenty of swimming. Fishing did not go as well. Because of the storm, none of the fish were biting and all I or anyone else caught was a tree or a few twigs.
Later that night we all had a great farewell party which included venison burgers, a log cabin and some house music over satellite radio. We also took a night ride/hike through the canyons. It was an experience to say the least.
