Hoping to make memories! Campsite work

[ken erickson]

My 15 year old Grandson has battled leukemia now for 6 years of his young life. The kid is a trooper! Anyways, I had asked him what he wanted to do this summer and he asked if he could tent camp at my land. Did not take much for me to start getting ready with a 13 x 13 outfitters style tent and some improvements and cleanup in what I call my picnic area.

Looks like I will be moving my fire ring to a more suitable location a bit further away from the tent.

Today was spent cleaning things up, some much needed weed eating etc.

My 11 year old rescue mutt Mya kept me company, .

Good job!
So sorry to hear about his condition. Kids shouldn't have to go through stuff like that. Glad to see one wanting to get out and do something.

What's in the tote under the roof?

One hundred percent agree and really glad he has a zest for life! He is already bugging his mom about a drivers License and a job to pay for a beater car.

I collect rain water off the roof , about 35 gallons per inch of rain fall. I built the structure before putting in a small wildlife pond and have the tote plumbed down the hill about 50 foot feeding a 40 gallon stock tank buried. I also use the water for washing , watering small trees , camp cleaning chores etc.

Its tremendous camp for kids with cancer who may not have a chance at going to summer camp. they do fantastic work. I have done alot of work for them over the years. I only post this cause I think every kid should get a chance to spend time in the woods.
