Hi, Everybody
This is us [hiking] only RAIN & more RAIN all day Thurs. Glad to have had things in plastic bags. No sneezes yet. Have seen several deer & a skunk today. Took about 1 1/2 hr to get the bear bags hung up. Had dutch oven cobbler last night - hard to hold cover over fire it was so hot. – Dad

Hi! Sorry you & John aren’t here to go horseback riding. There are 2 girl rangers here. There are some girl explorer posts that come here. Going to have oatmeal & coffee cake this A.M. - everything comes in a sack & have new cooks everyday. A school bus took us to the end of the road & then we walk. How about a camping trip? – Dad
