Eight eight two thousand and twelve!  That is what today is..8/8/12!  A perfect day for a camping trip, and not only that but a three day camping trip!  All of us kids are going to be there, all 12 of us!  And we are going to have a great time being nearly 9,000 feet above sea level!

The highs at that elevation are expected to be in the upper 70’s and the lows in the lower 40’s.  I can handle both of those temperatures right now.  It has been so blasted hot in the valley, my blood is thinner than ever right now and so these cooler temps are actually going to feel cold!  I can hardly wait.  Maybe we will even have to put coats on in the evenings while we sit around the campfire.

Fun times will be had by all!

Hiking in the day, fishing in the mornings and evenings and a lot of B.S. around the fire at night!  Who will tell the tallest tale?  I’m betting on one of the kids, they seem to have imaginations that run wild.  I wonder where they get that?

For sure my little 262 lumen flashlight will become a part of a story as I search the nearby woods for Sasquatch and tell my tale about…..sorry, you will have to be there to know what the story is.

Gotta Go!  It’s time!
