Palo Duo Canyon. Took in "Texas - the Musical". Pretty good stuff. Would return. Skip the onsite "BBQ Dinner" - was horrid. Had a tarantula encounter when we came back after the show & saw 2 of them in the morning when we were packing up. If anyone has intel or stories about the 2 holes in the canyon wall ("was occasionally used by..." or "they once found _____ inside... " I'd like to hear it. 20220625_230618.mp4 20220625_230712.mp4 -

With Coral, who ran the equestrian program. She's brushing out her hair with a horse brush that had been used on a horse tail not less than 3 minutes earlier. Riding "Shadow" the black & white paint & then on Mooch again. Last pic, finally got a full salad with cheese, tomatoes (that I again had to cut up), some egg crumbles & the celery returned. 20220624_160241.mp4 -

"Cowboy shooting" with Monster + sunset pics. "Spurs" with the fat jaw + "Shadow". 20220624_092218.mp4 20220624_092255.mp4 20220624_093049.mp4 20220624_093845.mp4 -

We used my truck daily for both AM & PM saddle moves. Faster / easier than walking them from the tack shed to the paddock. One day on the AM push from the pasture down to the paddock, (horses get turned out in to probably 100 acres of grazing overnight) I found a skull - I am thinking some sort of canine type & that's based on the size & tooth layout. Another horse pic; this swaybacked example is "Mo" & I was not at all interested in riding him but the lighter Scouts seemed to do OK. He responded well enough to their commands & had no interest in speed. Insurance required everyone to wear helmets (& yes, it absolutely IS safer... I need to get my cowboy hatted mentality to wear a helmet when @ home). 20220622_110833.mp4 -

Starting with the equestrian pics. This 1st Palomino is named "Mooch". We hada couple of disagreements on day 1, but then wen he realized he had an experienced driver on board, all was well. I'd gladly go back to Colorado to bring him back down. The other Palomino is named "Spurs". He has a busted face - the story is that when Spurs was a colt, he somehow got a broken jaw (no intel on how that happened) & it healed / calcified the way you'll see in the pics. He eats fine, takes a bit (they had a Hackamore on him) & if you knock on it with your knuckles, it sounds like y ou're knocking on a wooden desk... no flinch, no blink. Solid. Then there's the paints = the tan & white is "Tonto". Again, he had to learn that the rider was a rider & not a passenger & all was well. For all of these horses, I did an occasional roll back or weaving around trees to remind them that I was in charge. For all of the trail work, I was riding drag. The black & white Paint was "Shadow" & he was probably the most boring of them all. Mooch was my favorite. 20220621_110757.mp4 20220621_112600.mp4 20220621_145726.mp4 20220621_160038.mp4 -

That last video up ^ is Monster taking in the scenery on our 1st evening. Here, the HQ. Then, inside where they have various classes & do Woodbadge stuff as well. Pizza on the 2nd day when we had lunch - the Scout next to me had a very VERY burnt slice of pizza. My inside the tent clothes rod - kept things fairly less wrinkled, easy to reach & also for drying off. I cut little slots in the top of the PVC so the hangers wouldn't slide & notched to ends so it wouldn't roll on the rope. Monday @ 1600, we had an adult shoot around for Trap; I had 4 / 5. Remington Express Magnum 870's. Then some plinking with .22's & over to the axe throwing (1st time for that, prob. 1/3 accurate). Back to dinner with a very VERY suspect "sausage" (was more like a bad hot dog) & more views of my tent setup. -

Dining hall / handwashing stations / picnic benches underneath the main dining hall & Gilwell / showers / adult use bathrooms under the mai building. the elevated area. Canvas tents (no bueno for keeping bugs out). First night's campfire with a "Jumanji" theme. Plenty of lame / Dad Jokes, some camp staff songs that only they could understand. Lots of walking to get wherever you needed to go - I probably did close to 30 miles walking over the course of 1 week. 20220619_194951.mp4 20220619_202505.mp4 -

We didn't use the provided canvas tents for anything other than exterior storage. Hiker Direct sells a fold-down cabinet thing & I might get that if we go to camp again next year. It would definitely assist for a long-term camping stay so you don't have to constantly shift & sift through a footlocker. Also, I need a larger dirty clothes storage thing. We could only bring vehicles in for dropping off the troop trailer & then they had to go back to the parking lot while the trailer stayed. -

First arrival @ camp, first meal with the mystery chicken. Pic of the dining hall. We had adult spaces below with separate showers & their Gilwell hall. Someone brought out a Starlink setup, so we were able to do work via that connection if you were computer equipped. 20220619_170047.mp4 -
My brother & I are very divergent as well. I'm handsome, charming & he... well, it's his way or the highway. Plus, he's ugly as shoe leather.

We returned yesterday. 1 Week in Elbert, Colorado @ Camp Cris Dobbins. Located approx. 75 minutes SE of Denver. I took a lot of pics; will see what I can get to upload via the computer (TapaTalk has been a pic uploading headache for over 1/2 a year now). We overnighted @ the Amarillo KOA (Kamping Kabins) on the way N, no tents required - quick in & out. Stayed @ Palo Duro Canyon on the way back & saw "Texas, the Musical". If you ever do go through there, eat somewhere other than the concession by the amphitheater; the Q is horrendous. Food during Camp was maybe a 6 out of 10... we had some kind of dry "chicken" on day 1 & I swear, every day after that @ lunch or dinner, there was an attempt to disguise the chicke as something else simply to try & get rid of it. Hamburgers served like a hockey puck & room temperature cold. "Salad bar" typically consisted of lettuce + salad dressing. Gave us variable additives for the "salad"... one day, celery (that didn't appear again), whole sliced tomatoes, crumbled egg, diced onions... if on a complete bar, sure - good. 1 at a time, however, was odd. I ended up being the #2 on the equestrian program because one of their "Camp Counselors" hurt her leg somehow & got swapped into the HQ office. Got probably 4 hours of saddle time for 4-1/2 days. "Drive to Colorado to ride someone else's horses for 4+ days." Did "Cowboy shooting" with Monster... nothing I can't do in my back yard (.22 single action revolver, double barrel shotgun) however they DID have black powder & we did 5 shots ea. on that (the SASS people assisting on that were confused that I had paid for 5 shots each vs. the typical 1 each). Oh, & our weather was 1 day a high temp of 82 with avg. overnight lows between 55 ~ 60 & the 1st night was down to 45. No rain to contend with. Sucks to be back in Central Texas. Monster's MB classes were Nuclear Science, Radio, Shooting Sports & ...um... I don't recall if there was a 4th. I'll try to upload pics via m computer. There WAS a shitload of walking. This place is fairly well spread out. -
My wife doesn't watch football unless we're @ a Longhorns game. Probably 1x per season I get to have a version of this conversation: "Why are we punting? Don't we get 4 chances first?" Me: "That's a TOTAL of 4 downs. the punt isn't "If you don't get enough yardage on 4 tries. The punt is also not required, it's optional." Her: "No, I think you HAVE to, but it should be 4 tries than the kick thing."

You left out "& will actually perform as requested" more than 1x / year.

I wasn't aware there was much of a difference.

No pics, but my Mom parked heinously this evening. Curb directly to her L & the passenger side was across the white line by maybe a 15 deg. angle. I called her on it & she backed up around 15 feet & then essentially pulled straight back to the same position she was in the 1st time I said "You're right back in the same problem you had" & then I got what is her 77 year old Genteel Southern Lady version of "screw you, don't care."

*hear & Welcome back, @Bevoette My Orthopedist (I'm sure some of y'all know Frosty) tells me I'm getting "Cowboy shoulders". I stopped wearing my Resistol when I drive & it's helped me to sit straight in the seat. I also have some quick stretches that I should do 1st thing in the AM, but I keep forgetting to do them.

Meh. Piddly. Haven't had a single call from anyone in Belterra / Highpointe / Ledgestone.

Your shingles should be bouncing those like it's raindrops. Sidebar: Apparently Tamko has gotten out of the hail resistant shingle business. Insurer: Well, if you say they are "hail resistant" then it is up to YOU to make a consumer whole in the event of damage, not us. Tamko: Guess what? We quit that particular classification of shingle products. https://drginsurancenetwork.com/spaces/16/public-support-drg-insurance-network/blogs/insurance/926/tamko-stops-making-ir-shingles-because-of-insurance-companies-assertions

As the parent of a former LL ball player (admittedly, he sucked), it is always the most exciting thing ever when your kid gets a hit & gets safely on base.
