And when I first saw it (the little avatar), I thought you were Capt. Jack! Love the scrub on your chin! Thank goodness I'm getting new glasses soon!

It's the hat. They should never be allowed to camp with the same hat.

If you went to sites 13 & 14, you found them empty. Those were our sites used strictly for extra parking and bear boxes (the one thing that was wrong with Sheep Creek was the fact that there is only one bear box per site).

Us too, but we resolved that problem by bringing a queen sized bed with linens (including a feather mattress and comforter).

Kevy kept his pants on to prevent roasting.

I already miss the roar of our river.

I had a hard time falling asleep last night without the sounds of the river.

I have a hard time sleeping without some sort of white noise. So I battery-powered my soothing sound generator and brought it with me to Swank Camp. Ha! What a waste.

But, I'm so glad it was not among the things I left in my truck last night, as I could not fall asleep without the sound of the river ... or, in my case, the next best facsimile sound.
