Summer Campout

  My morning started out really earlier. The morning of July 24th, I drove up to the Midge Creek Campgrounds to meet up with other club members of Esprit-de-Four. I choose to run the top portion of the Dusy Trail with Kelly Swanson, as trail lead, along with club members John Cameron and Eric Nelson.

The trail was challenging enough, we probably didn’t go more than 3-4 miles, and once I broke my Jeep, which was timed just so, we all stopped for lunch. I managed to break a centering pin, passenger front, this time. Actually it looked like an old break in the U-bolt, which allowed movement of the leeve(?)springs, and probably caused the centering pin to break. What a mess!!! After lunch, Kelly, John C. & Eric all came to my rescue and got the Jeep repaired and driveable. After the trail fix….

We left the trail, and went back to camp to start our BBQ and Pot luck. Food and conversations were excellent. I do enjoy this outing.

My Sunday morning started off with a headache, so I left camp as quickly as I could.

I wish to “Thank” Darell and Kathy Kroeker for all their work in reserving the group camp grounds; trail picks, BBQ and Raffle. Great job. Thanks goes to both Darell and Kathy for all they did to make the weekend a success. Sherry Stortroen
