May found us at home getting ready for stuff like a garden. Bob thinks Safeway is a better food source, but Bets still feels the need to stay close to Mother Earth.
First week of June found us traveling to
Second week of June has us at Hot Lake RV Park near the
airport in La Grande for a Northwood RV Owners Association Rally. 65 Rigs from all over the West. Lots of nice people… We could have just gone out for the day, but
taking the RV means more nights of camping…
Next week found us back camping, this time in the local
mountains for a family camp. Took the
guns and set up a 100yrd clanger…
Eventually we left because of the bugs…
Returned to Cove, and a much smaller bug population. Campfire at the pond..
Jim and Marci left Cassie here for the summer. Cassie lived in her cave (bedroom and iphone) and came
out for necessities and food… She spent
some time driving a stick shift and shoot’n.
Dan and Carlyn arrived from Kansas Cassie did spend the evening meals with us and joined in the conversations.
We drove to Sumpter for a Horse Shoe Tournament and really
had fun. Next event was the annual Beach
Party at our place… Great band and
probably had 75 people show up. Pulled
pork on the Traeger….
I forgot to mention that Cassie walked every night on the
treadmill and it paid off. On her last
weekend in Cove we had a SAR call out.
Horse accident up a trail about 30 min from us. Lady had massive injuries. Cassie and I arrived to find the teams
carrying her out needed water… so Cassie and I packed in water… probably two miles in. Took a while to get this victim down a steep
narrow trail, but they eventually made it and she was transferred to a helo and
off to Kennewick WA for Medical. Cassie
was impressed by the teamwork and that the focus by everyone was towards the
victim.. Good work by all.
We took Cassie home and then off to Aumsville ,
Oregon for Bob’s 50th High School Reunion … and those
people really got old… ;-) We had fun.
Home now and getting ready for a trip to Mt Rushmore in a
few days… Will try to remember to blog
when we get back.
