A Sketchy Creek Hike to a Hidden Lake (Father's Day Special: Proceeds Go To Cancer Research!)

NOTE: In honor of my dad, proceeds and donations from this video go to cancer research. When I was a little guy, my dad and I explored this creek near his house and found a "hidden" lake. My memories of that time are limited, but they've always been special to me. About 40 years later I thought I knew where the lake might be from a satellite image and undertook a questionable creek hike to see if I could find it! (This is remastered from a video I shot in 2021 with some audio fixes, table of contents, and little bit of extra content.) 0:00 "Hidden Lake" 1:19 Finding the Creek Entrance 2:34 Entering the Creek (with Nunchakus!) 3:40 Getting Deeper! 4:08 Deep (and Cold!) 4:44 Creek Walking 5:57 Shore Bushwhacking 6:40 Rain, Log, and Mud 8:10 Chest Deep! 9:00 How Did We Do This? 9:51 Creepy Swamp 11:41 Taking Longer Than I Expected 12:52 The Dam 15:40 Climb to Lake 17:00 I Found It! 18:02 Shore Exploration 18:51 Final Thoughts 19:16 Final Shots LIKE and SUBSCRIBE and CLICK the BELL for #camping, #hiking, #backpacking, and the gear that goes with it!
