It is so sad to see the old Bush House in Index loose its' glory.
Many a good time and meal were had here. Hopefully it can be saved.

Labor Day Weekend

Rich Holliday and Cris Sabaten sitting by the campfire. Brian Landau getting smoke in his eyes. Steve stoking the fire and getting it under the grill to cook the baby back barbecued ribs...yummy! Baby back ribs, corn on the cob, baby back ribs, corn on the cob... Steve and I enjoying the coals of the fire.  Claudio Diaz de Leon Brian Landau Cris Sabaten Claudio bringing the necessities for the campfire...a cooler filled with beer and Tim's Cascade potato chips. Claudio using his dog, Griz, as a pillow. This was a fun weekend spent with good friends.  The weather held out for the most part...we only had to duck for cover on a couple of occasions.  Unfortunately for Steve, I was in a cast and using crutches, so I was not able to give him any assistance.  The others offered and gave a lot of help, but Steve pampered all of us with good meals throughout the weekend.

All Hell Breaks Loose

Most of the time spent at the cabin has been visiting with friends. We have cleaned up more of the wood piles left over from the construction and have filled our wood shed on a couple of occasions. We do tend to burn a lot of wood when we have people visit.  As I have said before, we tend to spend quite a bit of time around the campfire. We are pretty much wood scavengers and when anyone asks us if we could use some wood, we always take advantage of it.
