Camping

Last weekend Brian and I (Vicki) went camping.  We ended up at Lynx Lake. Our original plan was to go to Big Lake so Brian could scout for turkey hunting.  But, the Wallow Fire changed our plans.  We decided to stay in a campground rather than the forest just in case.....

We had an amazing time.   Friday we went hiking around the Senator Mine.  Over the last 22 years we have been there several times.  It is interesting to see the changes.  Where 20 years ago a tree was breaking through a concrete slab, now it is twenty feet high!!  The water coming out of the mine is running faster.  The gate that was once there is long gone.   The sense of peace and tranquility is indescribable.

To think about this mine 100 years ago gives perspective - makes our lives seem somewhat less important. 


 
Brian got to do lots of fishing both at Lynx Lake and at Mingus Lake. The scenery was absolutely beautiful.


Besides SOAPing out in the beauty of nature - there is something about being together when no words are necessary.

Hoping to get lots more camping in this summer though the next few weeks are full of activities. 

God is good.
