Heading up for a couple of days after the 14th. Jenny is finally getting the hang of peein' and poopin' outside. She loves the shower, so she should take to the lake well. Love the pic of Sadie. Enjoy her all you can. Dave |

wrote: i'm working on the light load principle...esp. since my belly has decided to add to the load. just got a light sleeping bag suitable for 3 seasons in nc (35F)...2 lbs. the tent is about the same. thermarest also...so that leaves 13 pounds for the food, right? g don't have a stove or water purifier yet, and just a few basic (cheap) utensils. like me, this camp-fish thing is still a quirk in progress. And the change of clothing in case your stuff gets wet? The rain gear in case of rain? Poly fleece hoodie for the cool evenings? The flyfishing equipment? Sawyer snakebite kit doesn't weigh much, but don't you wish you'd had it along the time you and a cotton mouth met? Since you'll probably wet wade, you won't need the waders. A bear canister weighs about 3 pounds, if you want to keep your food safe from bears and raccoons and vice versa. Makes a decent seat for around the campfire, too. -- r.bc: vixen Minnow goddess, Speaker to squirrels, willow watcher. Almost entirely harmless. Really. http://www.visi.com/~cyli |

My buddy Bear is a great fishin' partner, and hiking chum, but he ain't no Beau. I'd love to take him with Jeff M. and I this weekend, but mother says she ain't gonna go the entire weekend without her protector.

Some of you may remember my dog, Arlo. He passed away about a month ago. About the same time we lost Henry. He took sick and was moaning. We picked him up and rushed him to the hospital, but he died in Joanne's arms before we got there. We were devastated. A week later we picked up 3 month old Jenny who is more than a handful of trouble. She should be lots of company at Lakewood. |

Oh jeez... i'm sorry to hear of Arlo's passing. I remember several of
your photos with him and your other dog. Goldens are near human, only better. i'm getting spooked. 1st Henry, now Arlo. Sadie is about 12 (she was a mountain stray pup who came up on our porch one morning in the mountains and pawed her way into our hearts), and mostly golden retriever with some other breed(s) in the mix. She's not what i would call an active, fit dog, but as smart, loveable, and gentle as any I've ever known. She goes everywhere with us, including to my office. We are fools over her and can't imagine being without her, though we know the day is coming. jeff rw wrote: Some of you may remember my dog, Arlo.
