Now this is camping!

The wi-fi is working in the campground finally and now I can blog from the picnic table! Its the last day of our camp and everyone is moving pretty slowly. THe BSU has the last fire going and she's sitting enjoying it while the other sisters are cranking up the coffee pots and opening coolers, extracting juices and breakfast foods.

No pancakes today though, since its closing day. Sister Mary's famous pancakes and many pounds of processed pork products have figured into our morning feasts the past two mornings. Today there is bagels and jams, juices, coffee and fruit. I won't be surprised if more pork products are sacrificed this morning in keeping with the spirit of these familial breakfasts. Spouse's nephew, Anthony suggests we really need a camp pig, a piglet to help cleanup the first year, and breakfast meats the next year!

But after breakfast it will be time to fold up our tents and awnings, tuck away the plethora of folding camp chairs, have a good camp cleanup and head east for Utah. I've gotten rather fond of the 70 degree highs we've had here at the coast, heading back into the triple digits will make this trip feel too short!

Home then on Monday with son Noah in tow. He's still not sure what he wants to do but he wants to operate from our house for a while as he considers his options.

I gotta run! There's a raven poking holes in a trash bag and making a mess at the next camp over. I better go dup the trash for the brother-in-law.
