Last night and this morning was our ward's Father's and Son's outing. Unlike the Stake event that we used to do it in California, we have enough people in our ward to have our own event. Our campout was held at Wellington Lake, about an hour's drive from the house. Seth and I arrived at the campground about 2pm, and Seth's friend Trenton was already there so after we picked the best spot in camp and set up, Seth went off exploring with his friend. I started setting up my fly rod and eventually went fishing. Overall it was a great venue; the boys were out playing "Capture the Flag" until 11:30pm when the camp host suggested that we quiet down, and then the boys played cards until at least 1am. The next morning the Young Men's organization cooked breakfast, and afterwards had the obligatory "egg toss". Seth and I gave up our egg to a younger boy and dad so we stayed clean. After a leasurely clean up, we arrived home about noon having enjoyed good times with our friends in beautiful Colorado Rockies. Sure beats Firestone Park in Brea, CA!

Our camp is located next to a lake at the base of Castle Peak. You can see our blue tent at the far right corner in the distance. The elevation at camp is about 8000 feet. The peak is about 9,200 feet.
Our "six-man" tent is just big enough in case of rain. You can easily fit four chairs inside.

Our drinking water came from this pump. Am I the only one that thought it odd that the pump is down hill from the kybo?

Looks beautiful, even with camera phone. Jane said "papa randy needs to come back and read caps for sale some more."
Did you catch anything fly fishing?
That's a skill I have yet to master. Looks like a really nice spot. Jason
Could you tent be any bluer? Looks like a nice weekend.
