Last Days before College, August 2001

Amber is already a senior at University of Oregon and Ty and Kaelin
will be joining her at U of O this fall as Freshman
very bittersweet

Ty and Bill got to take a horsepack trip up in the mountains in our backyard.
We started at Ft. Bayard Game Refuge and went over three drainages
(bear tracks at each spring) and eleven miles before camping at Alie Springs

Very pastoral spot about 7700'

Santo had plenty to eat too.

Lunch at 9000' on Black's Peak

The wild flowers were great

Looking back toward Arenas Valley from Twin Sister's Peak

We stayed at a sping below the twin peaks and walked home the next morning

4 miles to home

Cindy got to spend some down-time with the girls too

Amazing floater

Amber is now in Quito, Equador (school program) and Kaelin is still here.
With U of O's quarter system, classes have yet to start.

Liz (who stayed with us this summer) already at NM State
