Camping

Just a few photos of the hike to Willow Springs this year. The spring run-off is still running off. Hubby hasn't seen the water this high in 40 years.

In the 30 years we've been camping here I've seen one layer of sandbags here once or twice. Heavy snowfall last winter and lots of rain this spring. We are grateful for all the water this year, especially when there are so many places that have drought.

Water under the bridge!

Lots and lots of flowers this summer! Probably because of all the water.

Head of the springs. This is where the water starts and flows in the river in the previous pictures.

Usually no water coming out of this part of the head at this time of the year.

We can usually cross over to the slop on the left side of the picture by stepping on rocks. Not this year!

The other spot at the head of the springs that is usually dry this time of year.

Keeping the Dog Busy

We have a sweet mutt named, "Tipsy".  She would never hurt anyone.... but put a fly or rodent in front of her and watch out!

While we were camping there were holes all around the campsite. We saw one of the little critters, we think it was a mole.

Here are a few photos of Tipsy keeping herself busy.

No, she didn't get the rodent. But she had a great time trying!

Mother's Day Photos

We always go camping over Mother's Day weekend. We love to spend time together! Here are a few photos we took while we were gone. Yes, we live in the desert :)
