A visit from Erika and Cohen

Image
Its always a good time to have Erika come home. We don't get to see Erika and Cohen but maybe once or twice a year and I wish it could be more, but we take what we can get. And this time it was a good time but we had so meany things planed the time went by fast and we weren't home that much, I think it was to much it would have been nice to just hang out with them. We spent the first three days in Long Beach with our trailer Kari Erika and Cohen set up a tent and made it Cohen first time sleeping out.   Erick had her camera and has better pictures then I do and more of them. They had the kite hooked to a chair and it got away so Kari had to bring it back. We had a good time Cohen, Kari is good with Cohen, and he had sand everywhere on him. 

Camping at Silver Lake & Trip to Mt St. Helens

We didn't do much at Silver Lake but had a good trip up to see Mt. St. Helens. The campground was nice at Silver Lake, we just kicked back did some bike riding and went out in the kayaks and set around the camp fire, but the best part of the trip was going up to see the Mt St. Helen's Volcano. We have been here all these years and haven't ever gone up to see what had happened some 37 years ago.   The wild flowers were all over Nettys first time out, I was thinking she would fall in and I could get a pic but she didn't

We didn't stay home long and we were off with the trailer again.   Netty and I came back from Rick for like five days and after washing the trailer we were off to Mayfield lake for 4 days to just set around and and try a little fishing, we reserved this camp site in January thinking we would get some good whether, but it rained the first two days. Mayfield dam This I Nettys way to go camping. We only fished about two hours but we had a good time, Netty caught two and I had three,but I did get some hiking in on some of the trails around the lake.

More pictures of our visit to my Brothers in Utah

Cats, Reservoirs, Dams and Mountains. I have pictures of a short day trip Rick took us on up to see some of the lakes and mountains up around the area where he lives, had a good trip it would be nice to have had a boat to do some fishing. Rick had like 5 kittens at the house and I think they got most of the attention then anyone , had a good time with them and I wanted to bring one home with me and if Kari had her way we would have had one. There was more then just gray cats but I liked them the most. They rented out boats cabins at the lake, it would make a nice vacation  It was almost to much for Rick to walk up from the parking lot he had to take a rest stop. This was a cool dam, the water was low on the back side we were hopping to see the water flowing over that middle area, Netty and found it interesting that they built this dam here that has no way to generate power. 

Its Time to See My Brothers House

Image
My brother & his wife decided a few years ago to sell there house and and start over again up in the mountains of eastern Utah and way off the grid, more power to them. He has put a lot of time into the place so its turned out to be a nice home that they both like. I don't think we will be going over to visit much because it was 933 miles each way. We stopped for a short brake it was a long drive, after staying the night in a RV park in Provo we started up into the mountains it was 110 miles up to his house. This was our first long trip with the trailer.     This is what the 2 mile road looks like coming in from the good one. This is the driveway from that road. Back door with a small deck of the bedroom. Its good he has a green house because I don't think you can get much to grow here Looking down from the road you come in on so we can see how his house is setting. You can see my trailer next to his house.
