Missouri River in August 2013

Plans grow... August after Seafair (17 through 25) we shall spend a week on a trip down the Missouri River.
Books and Maps have been ordered. Canoe rentals, shuttle and singles kayaks are all easily arranged.

Looking for all interested.... Are you... The river as seen here is flat, no rapids, rocks or logs to worry about. Perfect for all ages. After a half day paddle we will have the opertunity to lazy around the camp or take several day hikes, to see awesome vistas, Indian Petroglyphs, and historic Lewis and Clark markers and trails.

Let me know if you're interested.

Canoe rental and schuttle will be your biggest expense on river (about $200) per boat.

The Face of the Taste 2013

Meghan makes her way to poster child status as she is photographed at work. A nice photo for sure, which was used, and what better photo could there possibly be, in Sunset magazine.

Engine Replacement On Track

 

Friday I decided it was time to open the new motor and see about getting it up on the engine stand. The time has come to get ready to drop into the Suburban. Dad came by with his jars of bolts we needed to accomplish this task. Together we lifted and bolted the new motor on to the engine stand. This is the fun part of replacing the motor, and finally we can see progress. Moments like this are worth the hours of knuckle busting time getting the old motor out. Mom also came to help by roasting her first batch of coffee beans. The beans turned out very nice, and are tasty too.
