Weekend Recap…Camping Style
This post is a part of “Sunday Setlists”
This weekend was a bit different for me. I had the weekend off from leading worship and instead went camping with my son Dakota. Every year, our church holds an event called “Fish Camp”. It is a “guys” only event and we encourage dads and sons to participate. We also have grandparents with grandkids and neighbors with family friends. It is always a blast. The food is incredible and it is such a peaceful and relaxing time. It is held at a camp our church manages for the county called “Camp Apserkaha”. It is right on the shores of a Howard Prairie Lake. Absolutely beautiful!

Here’s the fish Dakota caught!
When we got home last night, we came home to this…
A crazy thunder storm. It was awesome! We don’t get them a lot in Southern Oregon, but when do, they remind me of the days we used to visit family in the midwest. I love me a good thunderstorm. Of course, what does the “in” family do when there is lightning and thunder? We grab all our electronics and grab pics/video and audio 
A little audio of the thunder…
A little video on the lightning…By the way, we run back into the house at the end of this clip to get the computer out of the rain
man, I’m jealous – that’s beautiful. WOW – those mountains … I wanna come to Oregon. now. I’m ready.
Seriously Fred, its time for you to visit the northwest!
Very cool. We do a similar campout every summer. Of course, our mountains are tree-covered, not snow-capped!
I love the mountains in the northwest. Every 20 miles or so, there is a volcano. This one is one of the small ones
It’s only 10,000 feet. that snow will be gone by the middle of next month and back in October.
This really helps reinforce how flat Australia is (the flattest continent and all that). Our highest mtn is under 8,000 feet…and looks a lot like a gentle slope… Dramatic (big) mountains is not our specialty.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.
That pic from the shore is beautiful!! The storm stuff was hilarious and reminded me a lot of my family. I can’t believe I’ve admitted that.

I wish I was there with you during the crazy thunderstorm. By the way, congratulations on your fish dakota.
