Never, ever is there a dull moment when with the TC crowd.  After Winthrop, it looks like time to relax and talk shop …

Spacious and grassy spots to camp … a great view of the beach out back … a warm autumn day.  Does it get any better?  Well, yes it does.

Just outside of the swimming area, it’s hydroplane race day!  Yay … entertainment provided!

Colorful and fun … trying to figure out the strategies they use to get the “inside corner” while making the turns.  They race sitting on their knees … and they do a moving “start” … jockeying for position.  Oh, it was great watching them from the comfy seats on the water.

Alas, this too comes to an end.  Nothing now but cool breezes wafting off of the lake.

Soon it’s time for dinner … all cooks report to their campers!  On your mark, get set, … cook!

Sliced meats, salads, pastas, stuffed eggs, jalapeno poppers, seafood, teriyaki, Brussel sprouts with cranberries, wraps, chicken fajita, cakes, ice cream cake, cupcakes, oh … the list goes on.  Take a look.

… our favorite diet! Oh, food, wonderful food, marvellous food, glorious food.

Indeed … but after that there are games.  Prizes.  More food.  Then relaxing around the fire.  Talk goes into the evening, then it’s time to sleep.

… and it’s the start of day 3.  Most of the caravan will go on to Leavenworth and Oktoberfest.  Unfortunately, we part ways to head back to work.  But first …

Steaming hot sausage and gravy over breakfast biscuits – oh, this must be heaven.  As the campers roll out of their cozy warm TCs, they are welcomed by this sumptuous breakfast – thanks GeorgeBrown!  For us, it’s eat and run … off through the beautiful Methow Valley.

Spotted in the early morning, near Twisp, a balloon rises …
