The day that we return from the Crooked River Campground Brent and I literally packed and headed to the ranch. Jay needed some help with fencing and other odds and ends around the property. Brent and I enjoyed the one on one time in the middle of nowhere. Plus we love it the scenery and we’re excited to do some shooting this time too! Of course it was wild weather there. When we arrived it was raining.
The creek was pretty loud. Lots of mini falls and water running through.
After doing some fencing we stopped in the field of dreams to eat some lunch. We set up the target and I practiced shooting. I was able to hit it on my second try.
The thunderstorm clouds started rolling in fast and the wind picked up. We headed back to the fence and got busy working.
Our first day was pretty unproductive, so we decided we’d get up early the next day and get to work.
This day we saw lightning and the thunder was almost right over us. I urged Brent to head back to the house. So we started that way to eat lunch indoors. The rain never actually went over us, it went around where we were. So we went back to work.
There were spots of twisted fence and downed fence and missing fence posts.
We drove the perimeter a few times all in all looking for spots that needed mending. We got a ton of stuff done.
We even saw a rainbow in the distance.

Our very last fence fix of the day was where a tree fell and took down fence. Then it looked like someone tried to attach miscellaneous barbed wire to connect bits of fencing. We moved the post forward, cut and reran the line. It was a little time consuming, but looked better when it was all done. Pictures don’t really do justice to how bad it looked in person before we fixed it.

A little before (too) and after (bottom).
We worked until the sun went down. Then enjoyed some dinner and card games. The next morning we cleaned the house a little, and then headed home to our boys!
