Rain Camping

Die hard campers ...

Logging in McCloud

The logging industry has dried up in McCloud, but some loggers persist in keeping the tradition alive.

Camp Transportation

Transportation around camp has been pretty limited... plenty of kid-power is available.

Snuggling at the Campfire

Autumn and Zoey snuggling with Louise at the campfire.

Fresh Venison

We had fresh venison in camp all week ... they are begging for peanuts and almonds.

Autumn is Happy

Our youngest camper is having a great time here ... this little one loves the outdoors.

The Group is Growing

My Cousins Frank and Don, and their wives Juline and Pat arrived today. Many more to come.
Fishing has been great with rainbows taking dry flies and a red Copper John. Catch and release so far, but we'll keep some for a big fish feed soon.

Lounging and Crafts

In a brief moment of inactivity, Autumn decided to take a little breather before the crafts hour.
Sandra and Kylee supervised.

Autumn on the Go

Our Great Granddaughter Autum headed for a snack.

First Fire

Unfortunately, the whole thing went out shortly after the pix and I had to start all over.

2nd Day in McCloud

Firewood is now here, ham station is setup, campsite is waiting for others to arrive, and the chipmunks are attacking!!

First Night in Camp

Celebrating our arrival ... a couple rib eyes, some Pinot, a salad and life is good!
