Redoubt Volcano

Isn't this picture of Redoubt fantastic.... it has been erupting on and off for weeks now,
we finally saw a bit of the ash come our way this past weekend.

Turning the boat!

OK, it's time to turn the boat over so Bob can sand, fill, sand, fiberglass, sand again, prime, sand, paint... you get the point... the bottom of the boat. Here is the boat off the cradle, and being held up by straps... ready to be turned over.

Here is Bob's crew.... we love these guys. From front right around the back of the boat is Bishop Herbert, Rod Hullinger, Bob, Jason Rampton, Chase Hullinger, and Kevin Thayer.

Here they go...




Up on it's side...

All the way over

Spring Break !

This is the first moose we met as we arrived at the cabin.... her eyelashes were something else...long and kind of curly!!


We had to carry our things from the road to the cabin... the snow was so crunchy with a hard icy top which hadn't been touched all winter....



whooo hooo.... we're holding up our skirts as we walk to the car for church.... unfortunatly our car was stuck solid in the ice and after Bob worked for 2 hours to get us unstuck.... a neighbor came and pulled us out..... we didn't make it to church....

Bishop and Bonnie Herbert's cabin...we love this place!

We are winter buddies...
