This project is winding down

It is a cool, blustery mid-afternoon as I write this.  In exchange for extra hours we worked last Friday morning, we were given this afternoon off.  The bigger parts of our project here at Camp Galilee, El Dorado Springs, Missouri are done and the smaller items are now finishing up.  We got a lot of work done here in the past 3 weeks and it gives us a real sense of accomplishment.  At the same time, however, we are all cleaning up and packing up.  Tonight will be a group dinner when we recap all that was done and say our good byes to one another.  A group of strangers met here 3 weeks ago and good friends will soon be scattering to different directions.  It is likely that we will meet again at future projects, we just don’t yet know when or where.  Here are some examples of our activities:

Bob and Elizabeth hauling the herd of deer.



Sue and Art working on the lights in the cold today.

We even got some Geocaching and a Halloween party in too:

     

Our next week will be spent traveling slowly toward the warmth of the Phoenix area.  We will stretch it out for at least a week by staying toward the back roads and having short driving days.  We're looking forward to spending time with Paula and Tom and connecting with Uncle Phil and Elsie also - and some warm weather again!!  Paula complained in an email today that it was only getting to 60 today - that would be great here!!  It's only in the low 40's now.
