Week 43 - Oregon City, Oregon - October 24- October 30, 2022

We had Activity Day again this week and started on the drawings of their families.  The plan is to do the drawing, color them, put into a frame, wrap them up, and give them to their parents for a Christmas present.  the kids are enthusiastic about the project.  Here they are in the first phases of drawing.

On every day this week, except on Tuesday, the rain fell endlessly.  I did a lot of cleaning and organizing in the basement.  i got all of my backpacking stuff put away but still need to finish organizing the food.  On the beautiful sunny day, Ray worked on the burn pile and got a massive fire going.  By Saturday the was hardly anything left.

On the sunny Tuesday, I took the ATV into the woods and brought up a bunch of branches and bis and pieces and threw them on to the fire.  there was still some sunny hours left so I went to the Far West Slope and pulled up a chunk of the big log that Ray had cut into pieces.  Here's the log in Far West Slope just on the other sde of Log Creek.

This photo is of West Slope just at the tree line where the steep cliff begins.

Malcolm helped up sand down the area by the back basement door.  Now the door is able to open.  I need to get some paint and paint the bare wood.

Trunk or Treat was Saturday night.  It started at 6:00 ish so it was still light enough to see pretty well.

Here are the kids.

Warren had a fog machine set up in the back of his car.  It created a nice effect.
