June 9, 2025-June Lake Degray Trip

(click for today's pictures) 

Very few Collide updates today, and very few Collide pictures so far tonight. There was one of Keaton having a "date" with a boy. He had spun the wheel which landed on "dinner date." His sister's group, also Campbell's group, picked who he would have to eat with, and Keaton was chosen. I have seen Whitman in one picture, and Anderson in a couple. 

Keaton and Campbell took their cameras so I know that they will come home with lots of pictures. However, there will be a lot fewer with Anderson and Graham. They needed Reagan there to take some pictures-maybe the girls will take a few pictures of their brothers. 

There were a few updates on the home front from Reagan. She reported that the trash did come and pick up our piles of trash. It was a lot, and she said that it was all gone except pieces that fell out. Robby looked on the camera, and it didn't look too bad, but I did tell her not to drive that way just in case there was something sharp.

Also, after Camp Geyer everything that was used was just shoved into a room. Grannymom and I put some things in that room early in the day on Thursday, and it wasn't that bad. However, the before pictures that Reagan sent was a bit overwhelming. By the end of the day though or really before then, Reagan had completed that project. That girl is a hard worker. 

Robby and I were in no hurry to get out of the bed this morning. We eventually did get up and go on a 5 mile walk around the campground. We had to let Bentley get a drink in the lake 3 different times. I did try to get her far in the water, but without my shoes on the bottom of the lake was too rocky for me to go very far. She did get pretty wet though. 

When we made it back to the camper, we had about .1 mile left so we walked past the camper. Bentley would not have any of that. She refused to walk any further-I guess she recognized the camper. We were able to get her to walk a bit more so we could make it a whole 5 miles. I was worried early in our walk that she was going to refuse to continue, and Robby would have to carry her 2 miles back.

After our walk, Robby worked, and I read and read. After a bit we sat outside some, but soon Robby and I were headed to get snow cones in Caddo. Bentley came too and had a pup cup. Robby had jolly rancher while I had something that had a scoop of ice cream in it. It was all very good!

On our way back, we drove and drove. We went through the Iron Mountain campground and then Alpine Ridge. It was quite a haul, and we were surprised to see people camping in so many different spots. And we were surprised to see how many campsites needed some repair. 

It didn't take us long to get back to the campground, so we went on one last walk of the day. After our walk, we made some crab cakes for our supper (don't think we are fancy, they were just from a box.) Now, we are watching some tv before we head to bed.
