then the fishcamp. Up the hill from the fish camp is a crater lake, and

This
odd boat seemed to be inhabited by 3 men who did not go ashore, although they
anchored nearby. We gave them a fanbelt and received a large rockfish
fillet in return. This bird frenzy was caused by the cleaning of the
fish for our dinner. |
