Hanna Flat

So this is where we went camping. We had probably the best campsite in the place. Site #9.

A Fire Came Through

I took the kids camping up in Big Bear at Hannah Flat Campground. We went for a nice hike and ended up going through an area that a fire came through a few years ago.

Response

Sometimes life is about how we respond to what we are dealt. A bottle opener added on to a prosthetic is a positive response.

Anthony, the camp director, lost his lower leg to an IED in Iraq.  It does not slow him down as he works with boys at scout camp.

So, this must be an old tent, I think the scouts had a vote on this last year.

Assembly July 21

First morning assembly at Camp Holcomb Valley Scout Reservation.

Kings Canyon

On our camping trip we were "off the grid" and it was great. The only reason to have my hone was to take pictures.

And the fires were amazing. We woke up to the sprinkling of rain.

Washing Feet

Relaxing at Kings Canyon playing in the river and cooling of our feet.

Camp Trask

My brother took his son to Camp Trask when he was little, I took my son there as well. I've heard stories that my grandfather took my uncles.

This weekend I was there with both my nephew and my son. One of the best and at the same time hardest moments was having my picture taken with the boys.
