A little cooler today 16c (60F) with a small amount of rain, although night temp much warmer 8.4c (47F), gotta like that! Spent more time today planning our trip, we do not travel more than 4 hours per day and finding it a challenge to find campgrounds that can accommodate our big rig in parts of Montana and Wyoming within the 4-hour period. We know from experience that travelling longer is too hard on the dogs and us, we like to have time to relax at each stop over, and we do not have to stop along the way for fuel, which can be a challenge with our big rig. Other than that we spent time polishing up the Onoway Fish and Game meeting presentation and worked on a list of needed and wanted items for the campground and gun range to be presented at the next Executive Meeting for consideration in the next budget. A new water supply well or cistern for the campground is at the top of the list, but a number of upgrades and added items are needed, we have a list of over 20 so far the campground from small things like butt stations to big things like an equipment shelter. The equipment has been stored in a shelter at the gun range, which is a couple of miles away so is not convenient.
Cookie reminds me of the first few days at home with a new baby, getting up night, watching her constantly so she isn’t chewing up everything within her reach, trying to catch her before she makes puddles in the fifth. I find I get very little done these days except look after the dogs but I knew that would happen and I do enjoy watching both dogs, each testing the other to the limit establishing their own unique relationship in the process.
I stayed home with the dogs while Woody attended the General Meeting, he arrived home around 10:00 or so, reporting that all went well, the members appreciated his work at the gun range as well as the campground and the presentation he made regarding the gun range. Woody passed the lists we had compiled over to the President, Norm for consideration at the Executive Meeting. We also had compiled a list of tasks completed at the Campground since our arrival, which the club had requested, the accomplishments over the summer at the campground are part of a report the Treasurer sends to Alberta Wildlife Foundation as part of the requirement for grant funding for campground projects. The club is very appreciative of all our work and we are very happy being here, an excellent situation for all concerned! We will return to Camp host here next year for sure.

The meeting was held at the new Education Centre at the Gun Range. The building was a portable school that was donated to Onoway Fish and Game Association. Some of the members got together to redo the inside and did an excellent job. They painted, put in new flooring built cupboards, built a ramp for wheelchair access, added a little deck, etc. The building is used as an Education Centre as well as a meeting room.

Myrna and Ron are awesome people and tireless workers for the club. They helped us many times this year with tasks at the campgound. When we needed help, questions answered we could always depend on Norm, Josie, Ron, Mryna, Garry or Vic to come to our rescue.
We have gotten awesome support from all the members we have had the pleasure to meet and work with this summer. Yes we are blessed in so many ways. Life is just great!
