The Send Off

Ahh... the 4th of July. A time for BBQ, fireworks and cow crap? Seriously what better way to celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence than with a big old farm party.

Thanks to Mr. Joseph Walker, his wonderful family, and his amazing property, we were able to celebrate our independence from Great Britain and have a proper send off for our big summer road/trail/climbing trip. Everyone who attended seemed to have a stellar time and I can't even begin to explain how excited I was when people started showing up with their families and children, a family friendly event indeed. Granted things got rowdy towards the end of the night, but by then most of the youngsters had departed or had fallen asleep. (just not on the pong table like some people)

Unfortunately I overlooked the camera sitting on my dashboard and didn't take any pictures. But I know there were plenty of you out there putting your photography skills to use. So it is my request that you folks with the cameras shoot me an email either with the photos attached or send me a link to where they can be viewed and I will gladly post them here. Family friendly photos only please!

To everyone who came, thank you for making a great day even greater. You are all wonderful and I feel blessed to have such great people in my life.

Side note: We came across a few things that were left behind including a large blue cooler, an interesting blanket, some sort of ball hauling contraption and a baby bottle. These items can be picked up @ the REI break room table.
