Jacpot Goes To Camp Hurst For A Couple Of Weeks

We have returned to Palmdale for a few days to get ready for our cruise in Europe. Unfortunately the ship won't allow Jacpot to come along so he is going to Camp Hurst for the next 15 days.

Jacpot Hikes To Sword Lake

After our trip around the lake this morning we returned for breakfast and then made sandwiches for our trip to Sword Lake. After a 6 mile drive on uppaved road we got to the trailhead and Cindy, Cindy, Judy, Teresa, Steve, Warren, Chris, and Jacpot set off for a 3 mile hike but many thought it was closer to 4 and uphill both ways!

Jacpot and Cindy hang out at Clarks Fork bridge where we stopped on our way back to the cabin.

Jacpot Gets Cloned

The Shores, Danns, and Labrenzes have left, and our time in the moutains is getting near the end. The Hursts are still here and we had another nice trip around the lake this morning. My trip around was not my best because I forgot my running shoes and had to go around in my flip flops. Jacpot ran ahead with Teresa and little Cindy. Before the Labrenzes left, Mitch gave Cindy some lessons in Photoshop and one of the pictures she worked on is below.

Jacpot Cruises On The Party Boat

Jacpot has enjoyed the excitement of all the people this last week. We have enjoyed seeing the: Groenvelds, Slattums, Laurel Engstrom (missed seeing Mike), Shores, Danns, Labrenzs, and Hursts.

Mark, Garrett, Mitch, and Chris went for a 3 day backpacking trip, next time hopefully Jacpot will come along.

Yesterday we went out on a party boat, as well as a 5 mile hike and Jacpot still had enough energy to play all night with new friend Ollie (Slattum's dog) on the deck. With 23 people over for a Turkey feast, there was plenty of good times for every person and dog.

Jacpot Walks On Water

Jacpot continues to have a great time in the mountains. We have enjoyed visits by brother Dave, Brandon, and Joe. The next wave will of people will be arriving shortly, and Jacpot is ready.

Jacpot and Chris walk on the logs at Pinecrest Lake after a run, and swim one morning.




Not quite walking on water... but close.

Dave joined us one morning us the run around the lake.
