Clear Lake Past Experiences

Clear Lake!
    As a kid growing up, my family and I went up to clear lake on a regular basis every year. We had the same cabin since I remember, until the one year they decided that they were going to renovate it to make it more up to date. So that year we had to stay in a different cabin but in the same area on the same side. In our area we had a pool separating two sides of cabins and and then more along the other side of each row. It was a fairly large area but was still super quiet which was nice. It was only took a few minutes to walk into the park where all the stores and shops were. Every morning I would walk down to the bake shop where they had the most amazing cinnamon buns around, and take them back before anyone was awake usually. There were some pretty crazy things that happened there, I seen a few bears and cubs within the time that we were down there. The one day I was walking my dog back to the cabin, when this guy came up and told me that I better hurry back to safety because there has been two black bears spotted not far from where I was. I was absolutely terrified so I quickly ran back with my dog Sadie to the cabin and told my family that we'd better stay inside for awhile.As a family we would go down to airplane bay which was a 10 minute drive if the weather was nice. Airplane bay is another beach off of the main one, this is where people usually went tubing or boating because it is quieter. They had a very nice park right behind the museum where the they had tennis courts located, newly done huge play center so my two sisters and I always enjoyed going down there for a few hours. After your older you find that they isn't as much to do unless you and some friends go down there to camp or something. But now that my sisters and I are all grown up we find that there really isn't as much fun or entertainment for us down there. Going to Clear Lake as much as I did made so many great memories for me, and even friendships with some of the people that were down there as much as us.
