Sorry for the delay in posting my adventures of the past week but here they are, better late than never!

First off: Silhouette Shooting: Gary and I tied in the first round 29 out of 40 hits each. I won the 20 shot tie breaker 15 hits to his 14. We had another shooter join us, Barlow, he said he would join us again this week. We shot on a new range this time a few hundred yards down from our regular one; others were using the regular one. The new range was OK except we had to look into the Sun for the first half of the shoot.

Second Adventure: Saturday evening, Nancy and I went out to Hyatt Lake Resort, not far from Ashland, with our across the street neighbors, Gary and Dar, to listen to a local singer performing there. His name is: Robbie De Costa; he has an eclectic repertoire and features a throaty and raspy style. His singing was fairly good and his personality great; resulting in very good entertainment. The venue was on the patio of the Lake’s Pizza Parlor, just 50 yards above the lake’s shoreline. A beautiful view of the lake, about a hour before sunset, Osprey soaring above fishing, a nice sized audience but not crowded, reasonable prices, and good company. It was a great, relaxing evening. We plan to back at least once more before the season ends.

Third Adventure: Saturday evening, at the Resort, we made plans with Gary and Dar to go 4 wheeling the next day. So, Sunday morning we loaded up the ATV’s and headed out for Swan Lake Valley to explore the mountains above the valley. It was a beautiful day and beautiful scenery. Gary had been in this area many times in the past hunting with his father as a child. We finally made the summit of the mountain, I don’t know its name yet, and returned to the trucks via a different route. On our return we passed close to an old Hunting Camp that Gary and his family used to use when he was a child; we stopped and visited it. It was in and advanced state of deterioration, but it brought back many fond memories for Gary. We made it back to the trucks from the cabin and returned home by 6:00 PM, very tired from another good ride.
