Tom Miner Once Again
The girls and I met another family at Tom Miner for a one-nighter. Ludwig was running poorly so my brain was distracted, plus it was a little rainy. But it was good to meet with friends nonetheless.

Anniversaire XXII
For our 22nd anniversary we camped a couple nights at Pine Creek Campground, about 40 minutes from our house. The ladies took Ludwig but I had to leave later so I drove Gertrude.

E baked a cake in that Dutch oven.

Female Mechanic(s) Now on Duty
The same day as E's driving lessons, Colin (background left) put both girls to work greasing Gertie's front end. They are actually doing the actual work, not just playing at make-believe.
Yes yes yes, the car is supported by jack stands and not just that jack. We're not crazy. Plus its wheels are still on.

New Driver
E took her first driving lesson in Colin's 1978 VW Campmobile. There very possibly is no better person from whom to learn to drive.
Her second driving lesson was in Gertie. Both of these vehicles have manual transmissions (transaxles technically but we needn't go there).

This was two days, Sica Hollow to Left Tailrace Campground just below Big Bend Dam, and then there to Cottonwood Springs Lake Campground outside of Hot Springs. Corner to corner.
