Kyle Comes to Camp

01/28/05 - 01/30/05

 

Wes brought a friend, Kyle, up to camp this weekend. The boys had a ball. The weather was cold, but dry on Saturday (once the fog lifted). Sunday was perfect - no fog, bright sun... naturally, the day we were leaving.

We went up to the homesite on the ATV - supposedly to do some work and check out the layout we did last week. Of course, that was just the excuse to ride on the ATV. But once again, we reveled in the beauty of the land and the view.

The buckeye trees are starting to leaf out on our property, and up the hill, some are totally green. The manzanita trees have almost all of their leaves, and the flowers are starting to bloom. Yes, this is the land that first fell in love with.

The field mice found a nice, warm place to stay out of the rain while we were gone.
