We had a chance for a six night trip with the camper. We took it and here's the story of our adventure -

 

White Mountains - August 2021

 

When we got back home things got really exciting...............but that's not the main story here. Sit back, maybe grab a nice tree ripened peach to celebrate the summer, and tag along with us. We hope you enjoy! :)

Thanks for the delightful TR.   We have acquaintances whose children both attended Deep Springs.  As I recall the program terminates with an associates degree, but most students go on to graduate degrees. 
 

You’re close to such a special place to explore.

Another fine trip report. Really liked this sentence.

 

"Wyman Canyon is a rugged, hard place. We were exceedingly careful and paid attention for possible issues with the Lady's new right knee. On the other hand it was also a good test of her new mobility and pain free motion

 

 

Wishing Julie a quick recovery.

Great Sunday morning read. Thanks!! I wonder if a person can sends photos of an illegal burn to the authorities. Can't believe peoples' attitude - guess there's just no fixin' stupid. Maybe a nice hefty fine?!

Best wishes to the Lady for a speedy recovery.

Thanks Ski for the story.

Bonfire Bonnie and friend (the Jabba the Hutt) sisters

sure sounded like an interesting pair.

There sure are a lot of people out there who can't follow rules

even when it means the high consequences that they could face.

Oh well that's humans.

 

Interesting comparison with the 2 "cowgirls". I bet if the CGs

came across the Hutt sisters they might have been a lot more forceful.

 

Anyway a great trip read.

And glad to hear Julie's knee went well and you both are safe.

Frank
