To Fenton and beyond

We spent the last part of our week camping at Fenton Lake in the Jemez mountains. It was beautiful and wonderful weather. I am very glad to report the bugs were few in numbers. There was mostly nats, which I can deal with it. Our camp site was a prime location for chipmunks, which at first were cute and enjoyable. They soon became a slight annoyance and were everywhere. The only other animal run in we had was with some racoons trying to find something to eat and bothering the near by dumpster. Lana did very well with everything. She didn't cry too much and she only threw one tantrum when she was tired, over some dogs she saw






We spent Friday looking around at the hatchery, fishing and hiking. It was a busy day that left us with a tired baby. She had a blast fishsing, granted she needed a lot of helping casting and was more interested in the passing trucks.


One happy kid!

All in all it was a wonderul trip and the families that stayed next to us were both wonderful and very kind. We were able to enjoy a beautiful mountain rain storm on Friday afternoon. We made a shelter and ate some soup with it pouring. Nothing is a bigger reminder of God's love then being out in the open with nature. We enjoyed our fires with nice long talks and readings. We are excited for our next big camping adventure. We stopped off at Soda Dam and stopped for Indian tacos and frito pie on the way back to reality.

I LOVE camping at Fenton!! It is one of the many spots that I will miss when we move off to CA. Glad you guys had fun, I think I have fished that exact spot in the pic of you and Lana many a time.
