Storage and the Happy Hooker

RICH'S NEWS FROM CAMP WEBEGONE

We have found that even though we have a small trailer, storage has not been a problem. 

Part of that has been that Cheryl has surrounded the trailer with hooks. Hooks for clothes, hooks for measuring cups, hooks for keys, hooks for kitchen stuff, hooks for hats, hooks for towels etc. etc. and a shoe hanger on the bathroom door that has various sundry stuff (24 cubbyholes). Cheryl just said, “we need more hooks”! 

The microwave and oven have also been put to use as storage, as we don't use them. A small cupboard above the sink with a Bi-Mart purchase of stand-alone shelves has provided ample storage. A catch-all large space with shelves added has provided convenient access, strategic boxes next to the couch etc. etc. 

All together, it does get messy quickly, but the storage has been ample. We have now figured out how to prop up the storage under the bed, as it was hard to use. Always, it's a work in progress. 

But we still need more hooks.

Cheryl Stalks The Dangerous Camp Wildlife

CHERYL'S NEWS FROM CAMP WEBEGONE

The deer population is roughly about 8 including this new fawn I spotted. The does from around the area are visiting/staying too. Some of the bow hunters who stay in camp are currently in a bit of a fit. They have not seen any deer when out hunting, and then they had a four point and three prong walk by their camp. 

In other news, there was a bear sighting at the road to the campground, too.

Spreading Dogbane

It has been a gorgeous year for blooming flowers. Rich and I have been told that there is more variety of flowers this year as there has been more rain.

Living in Portland I look forward to the variety of Fall blooms. At Natural Bridge Campground there are no Fall blooms. The are, however, many fruits. We are enjoying the variety of fruit. 

Queen's Cup, fruit

 The squirrels eat any nut they can find: pine cones, dog wood fruit and strip the filbert trees. One morning Rich and I watched a squirrel travel to and fro with a pine cone in its mouth until a great northern owl swooped in. Fortunately there was a douglas fir tree close, so the squirrel escaped. 

 

Oregon Grape, fruit

Rich and I had a great close up view of the owl as it flew straight toward us. I wondered if we were going to be its breakfast. But it swooped up and away in time.

Laas Invasion

CHERY'S NEWS FROM CAMP WEBEGONE

The Laas family came to visit over the week leading up to Labor Day weekend, arriving at camp Webegone in a gust of energy, joy and chaos. Ah, do I ever miss the joy and chaos of camping with children.

The eight of us had a great evening, including (of course!) making camp s'mores. Early one evening Rich introduced the Laas's to the area's best fishing holes. No fish were caught that day, but lots of fun was had, and there was plenty of time spent practicing casting. 

Shortly before the Laases arrived, there was a mass hatching of lizards. Many, many little lizards everywhere. This is a photo of one that two of the boys caught.

Deer sighting!

The first morning Rich and I were at Camp Webegone, five deer - three bucks and two doe - walked through behind the camp. The first and only time they did that. The deer stay around the camp area, and we have occasional sightings. Four of the deer are extremely shy. This photo was taken in June.

This photo was taken August 25.

Rich and I were surprised how much they grew in a few months.
