Let's just say that we call it Lover's Island even though the official name is Lovells Island. Ah, what a gorgeous place. And we had the most spectacular weather this year. We've been going there twice a year since 1992, and this year was the most gorgeous weather of all. Which is weird, because until the day before our trip, the weather had been quite bad here-- too cold, too rainy, or too hot and steamy.

For the first time since 1992, there were NO mosquitos at all, and almost no sand flies. It was heavenly. I did a lot of beadwork; my creativity gets really crystal clear when I'm camping. (I'll post some pics later.)

No skinny-dipping, but we jumped in the ocean two or three times a day almost every day, immersing ourselves till we started to feel chilled, which is incredibly inviorating and rejuvenating. I did qigong every day on the beach or at the campsite-- that was cool!-- and I read a lot of articles about fasting and qigong.

Hardly any other campers were there; we pretty much had the place to ourselves, except for the three rangers that were always present.

I'll post some photos from last year soon. I forgot to take pics this time, but we were at the same campsite again this year, and not much has changed, so it doesn't matter too much. We invariably get our favorite campsite-- '#3'-- every year by arriving on a Wednesday when the least campers are arriving.

Glad you're back, Sharrhan -- missed your voice of reason. I hope you didn't take any of your Codex stuff with you on vacation, so you could just relax

Here are a couple pics of our campsite on Lovells Island. These pics are from last summer, but it's the same campsite we took this year, and everything looks exactly the same this year. That's my boy scout working on the tent in the first pic. He's completely blind, but he puts up the most amazing campsite! When everyone else on the island is coweing in their tents during a rain storm, we're sitting dry and comfortable under a roof of tarps at the picnic table. We always try to get campsite #3-- and 98% of the time we're successful-- and that helps, because Jonathan knows the site like the back of his hand and even remembers which tree is where to tie his ropes to.

Unfortunately I don't have any pics up yet of the beautiful ocean view and the dock-- gotta remember to take some pics when we go back there at the end of August.

pics look like a very cool place
