Hunting camp

This year, for the first time ever, Ted drew a tag on a deer in the hills behind Fairfield. The "hunt" was on! About 3 weeks before opening day the hunting party ( that is a very apt word) gathered to set up camp. Little did they know that a bear was in the area and after all their hard work of erecting the tent and storing supplies, the bear would happily check their work. He even tasted the mustard bottle.
Most weekends since opening day the trek has been made to hunting camp. As far as Ted is concerned, that is the best fun of all. He truly doesn't care if he shoots anything or not, and I for one am in accord! Venison is NOT our favorite meat.

Last weekend Luke, Nick, Ryan and Jackie ( ryan's girlfriend) gathered at the camp with Ted. They visited a small hot spring and enjoyed each other's company.

Luke and Keli leave for Australia tomorrow and Ryan and Jackie leve for Peru in the next week or two. Bon Voyage!
