Fires Near Camp
Both Bow Narrows Camp and the town of Red Lake are being threatened by nearby forest fires right now. Camp has been evacuated as one of the fires is only about 7 miles away. Brian is staying with our gracious BNC friends at Eagle Falls Lodge located closer to town....
Dry Conditions
Thought I would share some images. It has been very dry and you know what that means…forest fires. While the camp is not in danger at the time of this entry, the smoke has been quite heavy for extended periods. While on the subject of fires, someone needs to light a...
Welcome to Mowtown
Like last year had to get right on the mowing. So I started with the short grass! More of the same on several fronts as the border will now remain closed at least until 7/21. We still have dates for later in the season for those who want to move. So with the decreased...

Blessings to all from Wichita! Life continues to roll on as we wait for good news about the border to come through. We know it will happen, so it is just a watching and waiting game. Right now, the border is still closed so, as always, we keep up our prayers for...
Just Checking In
We so appreciate everyone keeping in touch with us through emails and phone calls. Yes, we are doing well, still alive and kicking! And the camp is "weathering the storm" as well. Speaking of storms, it has been unusually cold and snowy here in Wichita. Our low...
