Leaving school on Thursday we discovered a screw in our tire! By the time we had a new tire there was no time to make dinner, so we headed to the Yacht Club for dinner. Thanks, Nan & Pop!
As you can see from the fires at the Yacht Club, it’s getting cool here. That means it’s pumpkin recipe time! Check out these pumpkin streusel muffins dad made!
Due to much complaining by The Mother about our tent being too small, we bought a new one. So we had to try it out of course. We went to Christmas Valley and Dad took us on the Crack in the Ground hike…
Whoa! This is a crack in the ground.
In some places, it was pretty tight, but not too tight to monkey around.
Here’s our new tent. Spacious. Or so it seems.
Here is the view from the Green Mountain Campground. We had it to ourselves.
It got dark pretty early so I checked out some planets and stars with my telescope.
In the morning it was quite obvious to The Mother that no tent would be big enough if said tent was infested with a snuggle bug.
After breakfast we headed to the sand dunes. It was very cool but so windy that we all are now partly blind.
We stopped at Fort Rock State Park for lunch on the way home.
It was a pretty cool rock formation. I climbed up lots of it, with little regard as to how I would get down.
This weekends hike seemed dreary. that crack in the rock is not my idea of a good place to hike!! and of course you had the campground to yourselves. all other sane people were home staying warm. muffins looked great though and I’m sure you now are home and will be doing yard work and making a halloween costume to scare the neighbors.
Wonder why you had the campground to yourselves. Oh well, interesting with great pictures. The one of the snuggle bug with Mom was a definite keeper – now on the frame!
Sunrise or sunset is phenomenal.
I love the crack in the rock hike., hope nobody in the family is claustrophobic. I am so amazed by the diversity of landscape in your area. I hope you brought along those tasty looking pumpkin scones for sustenance. If you are going to car camp you need a tent like mine “the Taj Mahal”. So much room and I can stand up in it!
Love your “Crack in the Ground” hike and impressed with how you made a human bridge. Love, Jim
