After the accident and his foot was all healed Harold went back on the mountain crew. These pictures are pretty amazing. I only know Harold but the scenery and activity look like a dream. The dreams of my grandfather Dick. He would have adored hearing stories like these and seeing what his great grandchildren have come to love. They have told me they felt close to him in these experiences. I am thankful they knew him in person to recognize that presence now as well.
Each week a new group of 25-50 people comes to Jackson Hole and goes camping for 4 days with the crew. The scenery is beautiful still untamed and relaxing. There is no cell service and it's up to the young adults working there to ensure safety and enjoyment for the guests.
Stronger draft teams are used in the mountin as its higher elevation and bigger pulls.
Harold reported he hates sleeping in tents after a summer sleeping in the open. Anna had a tent but said solid walls feel too confining now.
Someday Harold will finally get a dog of his own. He still loves animals and looks forward to permanence where he can have the things he always hoped for.
He's also had the opportunity to fly with a cousin who has a few small airplanes. This cousin lets Harold take the controls some. The same cousin continues to teach get a job that affords the hobby not a hobby that demands a big job. I'm so thankful for the approach of this cousin. Harold has had such a good time working for him and going to fly with him.
He attended a mission reunion I'm not sure who is pictured with him.
He also worked the dinner adventure too driving wagons full of people up to the dinner venue visiting and teaching along the way.
On the seat is a commemorative custom made canteen. This has been an ideal summer for him. The beauty and joy of young adulthood is making memories and growing your skills and contacts. I'm thankful for good places where they can stretch and prove their abilities to themselves and others. Life is good.
