Lower Deadman's Camp part.3





Our new tent has two funny little pop out closets. I made one of them into a Rugby bed and put all of our clothes in the other one. We had a couple days of rain and Rugby decided the one with our clothes was the one to hide in. She was so scared of the thunder. 

It is pouring rain out there.

Our entertainment center.

 Our super comfy bed.

I cooked over the fire even though it was raining. Super fun.

 The Dept. of Fish and Game stock the creek with trout and the water is so low you can see the fish swimming around.

When my friend first spotted this golden furry rump, he thought it might be a retriever. I looked closer and the wag of the tail made me think the same. I moved in closer and realized we were wrong.

It was Bambi! 

There were a few other deer there but stealthy I am not. I chased them off before I could get a good shot.

Hunting season opens soon and the hunters won't be using cameras to shoot the deer.

Run Bambi, Run!

I think he is listening.

Lower Deadman's Camp part. 2

While we were spending quality stress free time in the woods my hubby turned 43. He and Tanner who is now 21 (gasp!) played a few games of horseshoes with a good friend.

They set up the game in the pumice road between our camps. Super fun.

This photo is just weird. It looks like my son is carring a snake, which he isn't. He never would do such a thing. It is a horseshoe.

Our campfire meals were amazing every night.        

On either side of our camp we had neighbors that told us about how they had been visiting for years and they knew all about our bears and how important it is to keep all of your food locked up in your car as there are no bearboxes at the lower Deadman's Camp. Each one of them left for the day and left coolers of food out! At least I got a photo before he moved on to our other neighbors cooler.

Zoomed in a bit.

Kevin ran him out of one neighbor's camp where he nearly got into some milk and he went around our camp to the next camp where he had some ham. I yelled over to them that a bear was in their cooler but they couldn't hear me over the generators. I ran closer and yelled" There is a bear in your cooler". They were eating dinner and they launched out of the table as if their seats were suddenly electrified.
Then the weekend warrior shot a rifle towards the bear as he was running away. Bait the bear and then shoot at the bear. Ugh!
Til next time.

Summer Fun Round-up

We have been having so much fun this summer

 and most of it has been computer free so very little blogging has been done.

Such as Camping, these are flowers from our camp table.

We have been taking Rugby camping and she has been an excellent camp dog.

We have been fishing quite a bit.

Lake George...Rugby loves it.

So does my Hubby.

I do too, we haven't fished much as a couple

 but I fished with my family while growing up and when my son was small so it makes me nostalgic.

Convict Lake...a friend of mine fell through the ice on this lake one winter and died. He was trying to save someone else who fell through while ice skating...

Rugby doesn't like that story.

More camping trips are in the works as I write this. Til then...
