Friday, June 29th turned into a aborted attempt at fishing Lake Fontal. In the process, I found that some organization (Camp Hamilton) bought and then posted "No Trespassing with the intent of hunting, fishing...yadda, yadda..." signs around the lake. I found this out the hard way, because, in the process of their building this camp, they punched in new roads and put in new gates. Basically, all this new construction got me lost along the wrong side of not-Lake-Hannan-anymore and too tuckered out to do the extra mileage to find Fontal.

Additionally, the first gate I encountered, about a mile before Hannan, though open when I first arrived, was about to be closed at one point. That was put off only because there were still children to be picked up at the camp. At this point, it seems that a trip to Fontal may now end up being closer to four miles than its previous two. If anyone knows more about this, please post a reply.
