We only took a few dogs that needed some birdwork and used them on the remaining Huns. Ed got Annie to point stylishly & intent – best she's done with him on the ground.

Sorrel had actually run over a bird upwind and had a tough STF – about sitting on the mark and then raised himself stylishly – very good job. He's had a very inconsistent camp with the 1st half being better – but I see signs he's improving.

A nice find and manners for Shauna along with Lily.

Libby had a find, no point but plenty of enthusiasm.

We were done and headed into camp. Dave, Vickie and Ed packing up and hitting the road. They made it home to California in under 24 hours – good trip and no trailer.

We did some packing then headed out to the rodeo. Saw some of our local friends and had a nice time. More packing and an easy dinner. Up early to finish the chores---------

whoops ! Forgot Striker had chewed up our RV hookup to the horse trailer. Stan had a replacement one and Ron reinstalled the wire not without having to get out the wiring diagram and redo the plugs. It took awhile but works fine now.

We'll had good sleeping weather and got going with the final packing. Bob & Stan let birds out and took a few home for some yard work. Nice bunch of birds. Annie and Linda took care of the inside whild Bob G disconnected the satilite and got us all back to normal. We drove out of camp about 11:00 am and headed down the highway.

Just about to enter Iowa and Stan had a blowout on his trailer. Bob was able to turn around and help him – back on the road in an hour. We made Ft. Dodge around 6:00 pm and had a relaxing dinner – getting up early and arriving at home by 2:00 pm.

We got the big stuff done while only being mildly exhausted!!!!!!!!

Another successful summer camp now we have to see how the dogs do in real live competition.

I'm going to attempt to keep the blog going during trial season with regular results.
