Devil's Lake - The Outcome

What a trip! It didn't exactly start out the way I wanted it to. Being the meticulous packer that I am, I pulled out & considered 3 different sleeping bags for the trip...and didn't bring any of them! Needless to say, I got a little chilly Friday night. Tried sleeping, wrapped in my tent's rain fly. By 4:30am the cold was too much & I rested my eyes in the truck. We got up & had our site packed up by 5:45am and were hiking up the bluffs by 6:05am. Sounds early? Not early enough! It was a huge weekend at the park. We got beat by an outfitter who was working with a Boy Scout group, and he grabbed our preferred spot (Misery Rocks.) Sad!

We ended up setting ropes at Cleopatra's Amphitheater. Access was kinda tricky, but we made it work. Group arrived a little after 10am & we spend almost 4 hours on the rock with them. Our group talk with them went really well & God gave me the words to say - you could see it on some of the kid's faces.

Following tradition, Kurt, my friend Paul, and I went to Pizza Hut in Baraboo for pizza and salad bar.
