After the State Middle School Track meet where my daughter placed third in the 100m Dash, we camped at Odell Lake to rest up for the rest of the drive down the mountains.

The easy access to various edges of the lake water provided excellent painting venues. You can walk just a short ways from camp at Sunset Cove to get above the water to view patterns, hear boats come in, or see the setting sun in all her glory.

The wheel-chair accessible jetty allows kids and grownups to get into the water without getting wet!

This quick water study was made with oil sticks, which are often all I travel with. I sure wanted my paint brush on this trip, however.
