First 2011 camping trip!


Memorial Day Weekend was marvelous... despite a forecast that seemed filled with rain and thunderstorms, we had awesome weather and it only rained a little bit! On Saturday when we were relaxing with friends, we had an unusual visitor. The hawk in the photo landed atop a power pole on the edge of our campsite. He sat there for 45 minutes, watching us and looking like he wanted to swoop down and have a beer. He also kept a very close eye on our friend's dog, which kept the owner a bit nervous the whole time. Finally he gracefully swooped away and headed South, maybe to find another campsite with a smaller dog...
