Camping Out
Graham, Kendra and their family came down for the Labor Day weekend. We camped with them at Lake Canyon along the Skyline Drive. It is very high - nearly 10,000 ft. elevation. As she mentioned in her last post, Kathy got altitude sickness and couldn't stay at that elevation, She returned to Mount Pleasant to sleep, but came up during the afternoon and evening to enjoy explorations and campfirres. Grandchildren are the best. They had a great time biking, kayaking and just playing in the dirt. It was very dry and dusty. We haven't had rain for many weeks. But it was beautiful. Moon Set The hillside above our camp The night skies were fabulous. We brought a telescope, and we were able to clearly see Jupiter with his moons and Saturn with her rings, as well as fabulous Milky Way vistas that dominated the nights. Jupiter is the bright planet in the middle left. Saturn further left. Now time for a little rant...
