Camping and the Summer of 2013

July came and went quicker than probably any month so far this year.  We didn't get up to our camping property until early July.  I spent some time with Nick and one of his friends and later with Joan, Gabby and one of her friends.  We saw some animals and it was still fairly green.  It is pretty when a little rain comes through...if you have shelter that is.

















 

 









We even got a flat tire.  It took me a while to find that the tool to use to lower the spair and raise the jack



I spent 4 days at Scout camp with Nick.  That was a lot of fun.  We did the standard scout stuff and enjoyed being outdoors.  Nick and I enjoyed cooking bread on sticks over the campfire.

After Scout camp, I went with the Priests to our high adventure...well, it wasn't such an high adventure as it was a 3 day golf/Bear Lake/Tabernacles of Southern Idaho & Northern Utah trip.  We had a good time and it was great to get to know the boys better.

I've been trying to get up to Sourdough on weekends that we don't have plans.  We're trying to make new tent areas and develop the fire pit areas better.  I also downloaded pictures from my trail cam to see what animals stop by for a visit.




 I've learned to be careful not to put the trail cam where the branches move when there is a breeze...you end up with a bunch of pictures of nothing but the breeze blowing.
