| Frank and Jeri Ann |
Rich and I were blessed in
July with four groups of visitors; two visits with family and two
with friends. The first July visitors were my cousin, Jeri Ann, and
her husband Frank. Their home is in Virginia, and approximately every
other summer they come out west and visit family. Camp Webegone was
sorta on their way from California as they headed to Salem, Oregon. During their four-hour visit, we packed short viewings of Natural Bridge and the Rogue Gorge and
lunch at Beckies.
The next visitor was my
cousin Howard, who stopped by for an evening visit. We shared stories
and childhood memories while sitting around the campfire. And as night falls, I got a sense of the ancient rhythms of our tribal ancestors, of the journey of their lives. That was an inspiring night.

| Nancy and Sandy |
Nancy and Sandy visited for three nights as
they made the journey from Portland to California. They stayed at the Prospect
Inn, located in the nearby town. Theirs was a leisurely visit filled with lots of
sitting and chatting - an activity that Rich and I experience an awful deficiency
of. We do enjoy our own company, but it is wonderful to have fresh
conversation, new input, and unheard ideas. On a beautiful sunny day, the four of us drove to
view Crater Lake. For some folks, Crater Lake is just a lake. For
others, the lake is a stunning beauty that touches the soul. It is always amazing to me to watch those that it touches.

| Steve and Nina |
Our final July visitors were Steve and Nina from Washington. They camped in Site 12 (my
favorite) for three nights. The focus of their visit was rejuvenation - embracing the peace and quiet of nature, listening to the songs of
the Rogue River, mixed with lots of hiking.
It was a wonderful month of fun and friendship. Rich and I were truly
blessed and enriched by our July visitors.
