Having trouble keeping up with this blog since we have been home.  Too many things to do here!!! 
 
The Oktoberfest was fun and we hope to go back again next year.  Enjoyed the music, food and of course the beer and wine.  LOTS of people there, especially in the evening. 
 
The last week or two we have been cleaning and sorting both in the house and in the shop (loft mainly).  Had quite a few things so we had a short notice garage sale today.  Didn’t make a lot of money but at least we got rid of quite a bit of ‘stuff’ and the rest will go to charities in town on Monday.  It was just the tip of the iceberg on sorting but at least it is a start. 
 
We do have several more trips before elk camp in November.  This Thursday we are driving to Beaverton to help celebrate Marci’s 40th birthday!  Jim has made reservations at a supper club in Portland (Tony Starlight’s) and I think about 14 people will be in the group so it should be fun. 
 
Several weeks after that “the girls” are going on a camping trip to Wallowa Lake.  Libby and I will take our RV’s and Sheri and a friend will stay at the cabins.  We will be celebrating all of our birthdays since they are within a week or two of each other.  It should be a fun time! 
 
The following week is Elk Camp!  Can’t believe how fast the time is going by!  I need to work on the menu and think about food for that week….  It will be here before we know it… 
 
Bob has been working on fixing up the new cargo trailer with shelves, tiedowns, etc.  The Tracker fits in it nicely and leaves room for other things we might want to take on an extended camping trip or other outing. 
 
We had a nice visit from Art and Connie with the Arctic Fox Group.  Hadn’t seen them for about 5 years and it was great to catch up on all the happenings. 
 
Eventually, Nelson's Travels will again become that...  our travel blog...  Have a few things to put in place first, but soon. 
 
More later…………
