Day 22 - Skookumchuck Camp
Tonight's (June 21) blog is from Ike Gayfield and his daughter McKenzie coming from Skookumchuck Camp - also please excuse any spelling errors in names and places!
This is Ike Gayfield, I am one of the original HOGs back 25 years ago. It's great to be back with the HOGs, it brings back a lot of great memories. I can remember 25 years ago when some friends thought of doing this thing and again it is great to be back. We were welcomed by the HOGs, it is great to be with friends and folks who share similar experiences and passions.
It is also great to be able to share this experience on this 25th anniversary with my daughter McKenzie and this being her first raft experience. I have other children I have shared this experience with and it is nice to be able to do this with her as well.
Even after many, many years it was great to get behind the oars once again, it brought back lots of experiences. My captain Bob even held on as I almost drove him into a hole. Again it is a great experience, life is just a treat and it is great the HOGs make this happen for so many people.
This is McKenzie Gayfield and this is my first rafting experience. I was really scared because of all the stories people have told about their past experiences. But, it really was fun and I only got scared one time and I am excited to do it again.
Bye Bye

Congratulations, Ike! So happy to hear about the reunion, even though many months later. I remember hearing about the original trip many years ago and was so very proud of you.
All the best to you and McKenzie,

(P.S. Arnetta would have been proud, too!)
Wonderful!
