Prayer Meeting 10-28-2022

 

Jay, Ted and I were able to get together for a short prayer meeting Friday afternoon.  Cooler weather and Halloween decorations kept us in the shop this week.

Most of the discussion for the afternoon was on the fall camping trip, or at least the pictures from the trip.  Ted kept the jack-o'-lantern and has decorated his porch with it over the last week.  Glad he continued to get some use out of it.  Elections and furries were also topics of conversation. 

Not much else going on until we came across the pictured doo-dad that Jay had in his shop.  It had been used as a tie up for an extension cord, but that clearly wasn't it's intended purpose.  So I took a picture of the back of it to see the writing on it (with the help of a great deal of magnification).  Anyway, I still don't know exactly what it's used for, but I can tell you where to order one if you should find yourself short of them.

Always a good time trying to figure out what things do.

As always, enjoyed hanging out with my fellow Rivertarians.

Fall Camping Trip: Oct 19 - Oct 23, 2022

Well folks, another annual fall camping trip is in the books.  And, as usual, it was a great trip!  This year's attendees were: Jay, Tim, Ted, Todd, and myself.

Jay, Tim and Ted arrived at Blue Bend Recreation Area early Wednesday morning to snag some good sites, with electricity even!  They also arrived to some snow flurries and the coldest daytime temperatures.  Todd and I both arrived on Thursday.

The rest of the week couldn't have been more beautiful - clear blue skies every day, temps ranging from upper 20's/lower 30's at night, and from around 50 to mid 60's toward the end. 

Other than a short road trip we hung around the campsite, or at least the campground, for the majority of the time.  Being a little earlier than usual, we saw a few more campers than normal, but no one bothered anyone else (that we know of).  

Below is the standard collection of photos taken over the course of the trip, most from my camera but also some from the other's phones.  I've tried to group them in some kind of chronological order, but I'm sure I'm off on a few of them.

You should be able to figure out the activities, from electrical work, to pumpkin carving, to hillbilly horseshoes, to our favorite - cooking.

Hope everyone enjoys looking.

After sorting through 183 pictures, these are the ones I selected for this year's post.  As neat as some of the photos are, they do nothing compared to the actual experience of our yearly trip.  As another summer winds down, I'm already looking forward to the next trip.

Long live the Rivertarians!
