The Roost

Hello again from a wet (but now sunny) Camp Skyline! The sun is shining today over Mentone, but it’s definitely a sight we have not witnessed in quite some time. The rain has been persistent ,and as you can see by this first picture, it has left the river and waterfall running rapidly!

I have a story to share with you about our fun loving pooch Benz and his yesterday morning trip down the Little River….let me start this story by telling you that Benz is fine and in fact, rejuvenated by his little river run!

It all started by Benz and William cleaning off debris on our walking bridge above the river. The water had gotten so high that it left sticks and trash on top of the bridge and William was throwing the sticks back into the river. Now, what do dogs usually do when a stick is thrown in the water….that’s right….they fetch it!! Benz went in after the stick and the water did the rest! He swam clear over the waterfall and down past the canoe dock, and got out right before the big cement bridge that the cars use. Hey, I wonder if he still had the stick in his mouth….some things, I suppose, will forever remain a mystery.

As you can clearly see….when I rounded up Benzy Boo this morning….he was totally refreshed from his dip in the river!! Even Bubba was around to say good morning…

We hope everyone has started their New Year off as well as Benz has….I guess his New Year’s resolution is to add a little more adventure to his camp life! Until next time….
