Thompson River - November 2007

Dad & I took a one night trip on the Foothills Trail starting at
the Bad Creek Project and camping at the Thompson River.
The weather was a little on the cool side (40 F at night) but
otherwise it was perfect. Here are a few photos.

Happy Halloween!!

Kyra is back!!!

Miss Kyra decided to go on a little adventure while I was in Portland a few weeks ago. She was VERY hungry when she finally came home. We think she spent some time locked in a very nice new home down the street, and we are relieved that she wasn't eaten by a fox!

When he isn't thinking frisbee he's herding his Wolde Harris signature series soccer ball



The old man can still teach Foster a few things about soccer

Happy Birthday Smokey!!

Smokey turned 6 today! I think that makes him 43 in human years.

Not sure about the candle...


Also not crazy about having his picture taken. ..

Lake Jocassee - June 2007

Dad & I went kayak camping on Lake Jocassee at the end of June 2007. We originally planned two nights out but our trip was cut short by severe thunderstorms rolling through the area. The trip started around midday on Friday. The paddle from the park to the designated camp sites on the other side of the lake is about 2 miles. The next day we paddled around 12 miles looking for waterfalls and feeder rivers and creeks.
