Back in Blue Bucket

Well, we experienced the Oregon Coast. Willard picked delicious black berries along the beach. Jean ate most of them. Yummm. The water was too cold to even stick your toe in, but we enjoyed the beautiful evening sunsets and the soothing sound of the waves rushing toward the shore. We visited the Redwood National Forest. We felt so small amongst the giants of nature. Nearby, we spied a herd of elk grazing in a meadow. We slowly worked our way back to Blue Bucket for awhile. Willard prospected for more placer gold there. He's found some, but nothing to brag about. However, it does add up. We are still practicing our music and have about 38 songs ready to perform. We will head for Ogden, Ut in a few weeks for Willard's knee surgery and my eye check-up. Then we plan on moving on to Stanton arriving about Oct. 1. We need to get there before Bill and Karen, so that we can move our stored items out of the way or they won't be able to get their Quads out. We stored our things together to save money, so we can have enough to play later on this winter. All is well.
