We have arrived at Indian Hills Camp!

After a 4 hour journey from Desert Hot Springs we arrived in Jamul, Ca. and Indian Hills Camp. I really didn't care for the traffic but it wasn't too bad.


As we pulled into the camp the first thing we saw was the sign which says "Pavement Ends, Wild West Begins.

We got to the campsite and just in time as the YMCA invaded and the great big parking lot in front of us was packed.

Of course we had to take a tour of the camp and someone was disappointed when she found the assayer's office closed.

Of course we had to make a trip into town to find the nearest Walmart.

On Sunday evening the group met with the Group Leader to get our instructions to begin work the next morning.

Our first job was to tear the guinea hen cage and put a new roof on it.

A new roof section was built and hung.

(The photographer kinda got sidetracked).

After adding a few braces and cleaning up some of the mess....

......it was time to put the shingles and tar paper on.

With the roofing complete it was time to clean up for the day.

The sun drops over the mountain early and the temperature drops.  We must go up to the office to access the Wi-fi.

While we are using the laptop we are always under constant surveillance.

Everyone must get a turn on the email.

  1. Hi,Billi!
    I love the pics and funny color commentary ! Which one of you is the comedian?
    If you are still at the Indian Hills site would you be so kind to take a couple of pics of the room with the sketches on the walls. You mentioned you have Sunday evening meetings to plan out the next week's work. I am thinking that our gym walls could be "warmed up" by doing much the same thing but using Mpls/Lake Minnetonka scenery. If you could send them to my email address that would be perfect ,then I could forward them on-mega thanks!
    I do so love to see and read about your adventures! You look sooo happy along side your man! Way to display God's feminine glory story in such a beautiful way!
    Much Love,
