Life in the Pre-1840's-Camp Life

Welcome to the Rocky Mtn. Nationals Rendezvous '08!

This is where our family has been on vacation for the last 10 days,

back in time to the Pre-1840's.

Life moves at a s-l-o-w-e-r pace here.

This is our Lodge(tipi). It was on a beautiful spot with the Henry's Fork River not 20 yards away. I forgot to take a picture of the inside, but we have bunk bed cots in there for our sleeping arrangements. It was a little to cramped for my taste, we might buy a wall tent this fall. I think that would be better for us until the kids can have their own tent, then Lyn and I can move back to the Tipi for just us.

These are some pictures of camp life, under the dining fly.

The camp chef isn't Pre-1840, however if you cover it up with canvas when it's not in use, you can have it. It makes cooking for the large Epperson Clan lots easier.

Lyn roasting a chicken over the fire. It turned out really good.
The kids love to help wash the dishes at rendezvous, wish the were more excited at home.
Ellie washing, Weston goofin' off. He still tries to get out of washing the dishes no matter where we are.

The kids were a big help this time and really stepped up to help with the chores that had to be done each day before we could go play.
