Gotta make this quick, as we should be leaving for the campout ASAP, and I am no where near ready or packed.

And it is starting to rain.

But, no fear. That's normal here this time of year, and we're glad to see it. Never seems to last more than a half hour, or ten miles, which ever comes first.

Camping.

Ponderosas!

Actually, we'll be camping in limber pines, but I know where the ponderosas are, just a couple hundred meters southwest. If any of you know how to use topozone.com, this is where we'll be:

zone 13; 342,973E; 4,670,568N.

No heelers this trip... staying home with eldest son (a weekend alone! Dare we trust him? Of course, just don't try to call. He'll be on Everquest all weekend.)

Hope he remembers to feed the heelers.

And turn the water off.

If things go as planned, we'll be burning a flag or two this weekend. A formal retirement ceremony.

Oh, and Deb... sorry about your namesake. Be curious to see if she has any daughters that come by when the construction is finished.
