Animals

Fall is when spring is anticipated. A time of new births . Here are some pictures of the buck deer being interested in the does. You can see 2 bucks who are both interested in one of the does.

Over the last week or so we have seen numerous bucks walk through camp. We do not normally see any bucks.

We even have had some tom turkeys wander through.

 Not pictured is the resident skunk which is getting harassed recently. It's aroma wafted through camp on Saturday morning. Have you heard of "nature deficit  disorder " Whisper Canyon is an antidote for that big city problem.

Stockader's and food

We had a group of stockade boys from Cupertino use the camp the weekend of the 20th. This was a group of 14 men and boys. They helped clean up bark around the log splitter and hang some pre made bat houses. Both of which I neglected to get pictures of. What I did take pictures of was food.

Dinner was hobo stew. So while the boys played the men chopped vegetables for the stew.

They took a hamburger patty, broke it up, and added carrots, potatoes, onions and celery onto the foil, a bit of bullion seasoning then folded it up, placed it direct on the coals for 20 minutes, then dinner was ready.

Then there was breakfast. Pancakes with chocolate chips, sausage and hash browns. They ate well.They did have a good time and lots of rocks and sticks got moved.I hope to receive some pictures from them showing the work they did. I will post them when I do.
