Trailblazer Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Forks pics JG....I remember seeing pics you posted In the past with water levels the same height as these, is that normal levels for this time of year? It won't be much longer before you can enjoy a nice bottle of rouge at the camp, be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artsled Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hi jg just wondering where all the pics of you on the log pile are, i looked all thu many pages and can't find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Good to see you made it to the camp. Now that you have a set of tracks through the snow on the road it wont take long for the rest of it to melt. You have had a long enough vacation, time to start cutting up firewood!! LOL Spring has been a long time coming to the Matepedia this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
