Added a couple nights this weekend out coyote hunting in the West Desert. I've got six nights scheduled in Nov., which will get me to 58 nights, but nothing planned beyond that, as of yet. May or may not make 60 nights this year. I hope so though.

Arggghh!! You're gonna be tough to catch up with. I think I'll be up to 52 or 53 by the first weekend in November but I don't know how much I'll get in between then and Dec 31!

I thought I would be adding more nights to my list. We were suppose to go camping this weekend, but Spencer's friends have all sorts of Halloween things going on and he is bailing on me to hang out with them. And Sarah is still game sorta... her friends are going to the corn maze so she "says" she will go with me but you know where should would rather be. I knew it would happen one day. They would chose friends over me and I am okay with it but kinda bummed. I think I am losing my adventure buddies. :cry:

I feel your pain, Chere! It's a sad day indeed when your kids would rather hang out with their friends, but I guess it's the natural order of things. My son rarely joins me on my adventures anymore. I miss those days! On the plus side, I do think that if you keep a close relationship with them, they'll come back around when they're older.
