Porcupine

We were loving the summer heat, and wanted to take a swim.
Russ talked about a place he used to go cliff jumping back in college.
We packed up the truck and Ecko and decided to go camp and swim up at Porcupine Reservoir!
Ecko loved getting out of the heat and taking a dip in the COLD water.

Russ brought his "Too cool lounge" which is basically like floating on the water in a blow up mattress.
I was so proud of Ecko! We got her to come on the lounge and float clear across the lake so Russ could impress the 100 people out there cliff jumping!
Ive said it once, Ill say it again..I have the coolest dog ever.

We paddled out to a really high rock with tons and tons of people. We watched everyone hesitate and finally jump off and Russ decided he wanted a turn.
He climbed the rock, and with out any hesitation did a beautiful dive off the top.
I wish I had a picture or a video, because not only was his dive amazing, but everyone up there was totally blown away so it was funny to hear their reaction.






After we got back to Russ's truck a few people came and told us someone hit his truck and ran.
Russ has an older truck that he doesnt care about so he was kind of bugged, but didnt care all that much...until we started to drive and couldnt turn left!!
So we had to take his truck apart so we could turn the wheel.
We called the cops and by a miracle and making an incredibly long story short...they caught the guy who did it. So that was lucky for us.
That night we had a fire next to the water, roasted some hot dogs and slept under the stars.
The next morning we went for a really quick dip in the water and headed back to the city!
