Cowlitz Shores

Here's a few pictures of life around camp at Cowlitz Shores. Norm and Rosemary are enjoying a relaxing time buy the river. Looks like Norm is getting gear ready for his fishing trip tomorrow morning and Rosemary has been working on her stitchery.


 There's lots of fun at this camp. As more and more people pulled into camp it didn't take long for someone to start counting heads and found there were enough for a game of Bunko. Look at the size of the bell they ring!!! We were not winners this time, but Norm was. Lucky boy!
 
 Here's a little frog that was hopping around camp. He's only about the size of a quarter.
 Many boats come up and down the river. Most of them are jet boats, but occasionally we see something a little out of the ordinary. I wonder how he does when he catches a fish? I see he has his net ready.
Keith and Sheral have a butterfly bush and it certainly did attract the butterflies.
 Here we are having dinner in the clubhouse. Often times the wind comes up at dinner time and it's just a little too cold to east outside.
 Sunset at the Cowlitz.
 This is a new solar light we got at Ron's favorite new hardware store in Winlock. This is an old fashioned store, but it is quite large. They have buildings on both sides of the street, plus a basement for feed.
We really haven't had much of a summer, but I'm wondering if the geese are heading South already.
 Bob lives down the road from Cowlitz Shores. He has a great garden and spends many hours working in it. When we take our morning walk we stop and chat with him and his wife. They have given us beets, spinach, radishes and peas. Yummy! Bob tells us to come back when the corn is ready. Don't you just love is garden sign?
 Some flowers at one of the campsites.
 Keith and Ron are relaxing and I'm sure talking about fishing.
 I put out the bird feeder and boy did the little Goldfinches love it!!
There are several eagles in camp. There are a couple trees that they sit in all the time and talk back and forth to each other. We have also seen then pick a fish out of the river.
