Labor Day Week-end brought some of our family together at the Girl Scout Camp Echo, Lake of the Woods located about 30 miles East of Ashland, Oregon. Last year Lori secured this camp for our church and it was a big success and repeated again this year with 89 people attending. About 5000 feet elevation, this pristine location is a picture. The sun shined everyday but a cool wind blew in and Saturday night went down to 30 degrees. You needed sleeping bags, covers, warm pj's to keep warm! In spite of this cold front, the water was reasonable warm, the food good in the large dining hall marshmellow roasting each night around a huge campfire. Lori was in charge and mom and I helped in the kitchen & elsewhere. On Saturday, Dan, Sheila, Shawna and Brady arrived. Bob & Lori gave lots of speedboat rides with many daring tubers including Brady, Shawna & Amanda. Cool weather didn't slow anyone down. Adam even caught many fish along with other kids who learned to fish for the first time. If you look close, you'll find Brady, Adam, Amanda, Lori & Bob somewhere in the boats, their favorite spots on a lake! There is a lot of satisfaction in enjoying other people's enjoyment!!!!!
