He won't be riding for a while but it's too hot ride now anyway. Dave Moser lost Tuﬀy his friend (his horse). They had become like family. That's all for this me. I sure hope everyone does be er next month. If you know anyone that needs some Sunshine, please let me know. You may call me at or boopoopidu@aol.com.

4 WOW! Here it is August already and a hot one at that! It was 103 degrees at the Hurst Ranch for the Farm Bureau Fundraiser. There was s ll a very good turnout despite the heat.

Lloyd cooked a berry cobbler (with a li le help) and it was GREAT! Keep on cooking, Lloyd! Larry made homemade ice cream and it was very much appreciated. Terri Arington called to thank us for doing the desserts and said there were many comments on how good they were! Our next event is Kennedy Meadows, Thursday, August 17, through Monday, August 21. Come up for one day or all five! Our regular potluck will be held Saturday evening followed by the General Mee ng. If you want to, we can again have a Sunday breakfast where everyone contributes something to either cook on the grill/stove or that is already cooked and ready to eat. The Pack Clinic is Saturday, September 9 at MJC. The unit is providing Dutch oven style lunch - kind of like a demonstra on, showing what we can do in the back country. I suggest we make burritos with a pot each of refried beans, bbq chicken, pulled pork and/or bbq beef, and rice and let everyone assemble their own burrito. Any other sugges ons? I hope to see you all at Kennedy Meadows!
