Mayfield Lake

August 3, 2014

We drove to Mayfield Lake Park, about 100 miles for a three day stay. The park is part of the Tacoma Power parks system with reservations available through the state parks on line site. Our daughter Tracy and family had been here before and told us it is a nice park. Our site was right in the lake about 20 feet from the water. We arrived on Sunday at about 3 so the lake was very busy with water craft and swimmers. The weather was very nice and cooled in the evening so sleeping was comfortable. The park was full all three days we stayed.

Another warm day with a nice wind to make it quite comfortable. No need to go anywhere except for ice so we sat out and read most of the day. What a great way to spend the day. We sat out until about 11 then inside to rest up for another day by the lake.

Today was nice and sunny but a wind blew most of the day. It was just windy enough to be cooling but pretty annoying. In the evening it was even chilly so I got our fireplace out for the first time since early June. Tomorrow it’s off to Cascade Peaks near Packwood for our annual gathering of some of the clan and extended family. A drive of about 45 miles.
