Post Summer Shock

I must be in shock, the temperature is expected to reach 104 degrees today here in Palmdale, yet it feels like summer is a distant memory. I have been back to work for three weeks and I am just getting over the shock of not having my early morning runs around the lake.

On a side note, Jacpot was placed on a dog magazines website for smiling dogs. Click here and scroll through the dogs to find Jacpot.


Thank you to all family and friends that visited the cabin, and of course Niece Emma lit up the place like she does anywhere she goes. I could write about the trips to Sonora Pass, Cleo's Bath (some said Jacpot couldn't make the steep rock climb but he proved them wrong), God's Bath (Jacpot could have made it, but the task proved too difficult for us... at least we made it to Cherry Lake) and others, but the swimming pool calls my name, and anyone reading this has their own adventures to go on.

Speaking of adventures if you want a good book to read please read my friend Jeff Mitchell's book "Lost In The Shelikof". Jeff wrote this book based on a true story in Alaska all while being a full time school teacher. Go here to purchase the book. Both Cindy and I have read the book and thought it was great, and no you can't borrow it... go buy your own and support Jeff.













Cindy tries to take pictures at Fahey's cabin, but her new friend kept getting in her way.












Jacpot and Cindy enjoy the waterfall after a hike up Herring Creek.

Jacpot was in a bit of shock as well, as we left to go home.
