All things considered this summer has been a pretty darn good one. As the “new normal” settled in post “Stay-at-Home” orders to help slow Covid-19, I felt blessed to not only be working ( at a great compony no less!), but able to get out and be “social” with friends in the 4×4 club. On the trail in our own rigs- or socially distant around camp. I got up to the cabin more this summer than others- usually heading up after work on my Friday- Thursday. Here are some of my favorites from the summer.
