Just a few odd jobs today. The Zimmerman were clearing a section of the forest to make part of the camp and to allow some sun to come into the main area. The sun was out all day but were are in shadow at camp due to the forest. There are spruce, ash and a few trees I don't recognize. There's also a lot of rhododendron in the forest that are so thick you can't walk through them. We use a lot of it for firewood but it takes a hot fire to get the bigger pieces to burn. We build a lot of fires: cooking, doing dishes, washing ourselves up, heat at night, tea in the day.
Here's a picture of the rhododendron that they cleared for our camper spot. It's really thick and about 15 feet tall!
Odd jobs - that seems to be what we'll do while we're here. Sydney got to spend some time with the horses and is honing her bareback skills. The horses know a few Gaelic commands and she's trying to learn them. I'll try to get a picture posted so you can who she's spending her time with :-)
