Fun at Lake Chelan
Okay, okay, I know that this site is supposed to be dedicated to Gig Harbor, but hang with me and I’ll make the connection. Some folks tend to like the heat. I see 75 and sunny and think that this must be what heaven is like, others wonder where their sweatshirt is. I hear it’ll be high 90’s and I’m looking for the nearest air conditioned ice cream shop, others break out the water toys and come to life.
Gig Harbor doesn’t reach the 90’s often (that’s one of the reasons why I live here). Lake Chelan, on the other hand, does. There’s a group of folks from our church (which is in Gig Harbor) who spend a week each summer enjoying Lake Chelan. I went one summer, and almost melted (but still had a pretty good time). For those who think Gig Harbor looks like a great place to live but worry that maybe it’s too cold and want a great place to go wakeboarding, waterskiing, or just sun tanning, Lake Chelan is a mere 200 mile (3 1/2 - 4hour) drive away. Here are a few shots of Scott Teodoro (co-owner of Gig Harbor’s Harbor Greens Market) wakeboarding with his son for the first time. See, I told you I could tie Lake Chelan and Gig Harbor together!
