Report from spring 2010
I have been up to the project four times so far this year.
Winter has been really hanging on which makes it tough
to do much except work around the camp. We have
gotten more than half of the outside paneling put up.

Memorial Day 2010 is almost upon us. I am hoping to get a big
group this year so that we can do some planting and some
fencing. What? You have never put up range fencing? No
problem, nothing to it. We will show you how. Heck, last year,
we had an exchange student from Germany up there helping
us. And she had a ball.
As usual, we will have lots to eat and drink. The bunk houses
are covered on the outside now so they stay warm at night and
cool during the day. The bunk houses sleep 8.
Lots of room for tents, trailers, cots, whatever your desire for
sleeping quarters.
If this will be your first visit, send me an email and I will give you
directions. Dave

I have been slowly moving the cabin wiring inside so that it isn't
out in the elements. No pictures of that because it is still messy
looking. It should be finished by the Memorial Day weekend.
Last weekend, I worked on the deck. For the folks that come up
every year, you will be glad to know that we now have one solid
deck instead of different pieces at different levels.

that weekend.
I went up on the weekend of the 8th and planted 40 some fence posts, worked around the camp and then
walked around the property trying to find all of the trail cameras I set out last November. I found all but one. It
is still out there, We will just have to keep looking for it. Thats what I get for not having my GPS with me when I
put them out. Below are just a few of the pictures I recovered.

If you have never seen the high desert in Spring, or even if you have, you should come up and experience it. Although Spring is
going strong in the low lands, it is just getting started up here. The wildflowers are starting to bloom and lots of different plants
are just starting to pop up.
