Three cabins, one dock, and the week nobody checked the group chat.
The week in one place
The kind of trip that keeps coming up.
Eight friends arrived with four cars, too many snacks, and no plan beyond getting in the lake before sunset.

Packing took longer than planned
03 · Remember this
The stories behind the photos.
Maya
Breakfast by flashlight
The first morning, the power went out and somehow breakfast got better. We ate peaches on the dock and let the coffee take forever.
Priya
The midnight swim
Nobody remembers who suggested the midnight swim. Everybody remembers Jordan bringing a headlamp and calling it safety equipment.
“Same dock next summer?”
