backpacking

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of backpacking with some guys near Minaret Lake. Hot clear weather contrasted with the frozen but melting lakes and the massive snow fields. Jon and Jay are friends from Santa Barbara, and my step dad Jim added to the fun.

Arrival at Camp Treetops


Greetings from Camp Treetops!

The Smarts are all here, except for Jack, slumming it in Hawaii, Tahiti, and Rapa Nui.

We have been here for 3 days and have experienced 6 weathers.

Some of the more gorgeous moments are captured on film. Sierra is becoming quite a good photographer. It's interesting to see the world from her height.

Jay is having a great camp. He is still into sailing and woodshop, but his new focus is hiking the forty sixers. He has climbed 8 peaks so far which are over 4000 feet. His hair is long and he is looking healthy and happy. He is well liked by the campers and counselors. Good camp fun.

Sierra is again very popular and comfortable at camp. Shari and I take turns watching her as we do other activities. Shari took some kids way across the lake for a big swim yesterday, and I had a cool circle of musicians jamming in the evening. That was before the enormous lightning storm hit.

To send us mail or see more photos of the camp, try the website:

More later. Love and hugs from the Adirondacks.

Love,

Jim

Hi friends,

Here's the new Family Smart Blog. Check in here from time to time to read about our adventures and whereabouts. Here's a run down of our current status:

Jay has gone to Camp Treetops in the Adirondack mountains. He will be there for 7 weeks. Shari, Sierra, and I will join him for the last month of camp. Hopefully this blog will be updated regularly from there. Meanwhile, Jack will be going to Rapa Nui and Tahiti with a group from school. That's in a week or two. Until then we'll be hanging out on Oahu, surfing, working, and taking classes.

Jim
