Norm cooked the fresh-caught trout.

...and ready to serve!

Slicing the Trip-Tip

...and ready to eat! Let's see; we had fresh trout, Tri-Tip, barbecue chicken, three kinds of salad, fresh-baked biscuits, vegetables, and for desert, cherry cobbler with Haagen-Dazs ice cream and whipped cream. Life is rough!

Julie Evans waits her turn in the shower. Julie spent 20 years in the Navy, took early retirement, went back to Fresno State to complete her degree and is now "taking it easy" with frequent Trail Crew trips. She's in her third year with us, and this weekend had us all in stitches around the campfire with the one-liners. She's a great volunteer and a good friend!

...and afterward, can't fit anymore food on her plate.

Tim enjoys Saturday night dinner!

Jerry and Sherri Pfefferkorn try to make the hard decisions... Jerry played guitar at the campfire. We never knew he was so good!

Sometimes the easiest thing to do is just rip it to shreds...

Marsha and Mike Howe; Marsha has been on two previous trips with us, and finally dragged her husband Mike with her. He said he never knew what he was missing!

Judy and Barry serve Saturday night dinner.

The Dinner kitchen staff. Laurs, Norm, Jan, Barry, Jim and Judy. It is remarkable that the food is so good with such variety, cooked to perfection every time. They do a tremendous job!
