| Quartz Lake |
Quartz Lake is a small lake somewhere south of Harding Lake and a mite north of Delta Junction, AK. We stayed there for 4 nights. This is a State of Alaska campground with no hookups of any kind, so we had to run the generator periodically to keep the freezer cold and the trailer warm. The price was right though at $10 a night. The temp during the day 50's and 60's and down to the high 40's at night. The weather was wonderful; a scatter of rain some nights and the last day but sunshine a lot.

We hiked the trails; making a 3 1/2 mile loop one day, along the lake, up a hill and along side Little Lost Lake and Lost Lake campground and back to Quartz Lake campground. We took the big dog but not Maggie, her long hike days are done.
We got to fish! Quartz lake has landlocked Silver salmon. The first day that we fished we didn't keep any. We really didn't have the hang of it but the second day we did, winding up with 9 Silvers. A very kind lady gave us bait to use and it was terrific. The little Sea Eagle boat worked well except in the wind and it is so light the wind took us for a ride, drifting us off our fishing hole. As we didn't bring an anchor with us, Bosco improvised by using the stinger off the truck and it worked superbly.
