Making Apple Cider

The sky this morning was pink and calm after a storm last night.

Then we got to make Apple Cider with Bob and Marianne

Here we are  adding the apples while Bob is grinding them.

Now for the press

Pouring it into bottles.

Awesome Autumn activity

Tommy's adventure continues

During this "hitch"he planted trees for the Disney corporation near Durango.

Camping at over 10,000 feet elevation

This last week he was in Telluride Colorado and  they got snow.

Two more weeks in Durango and then it's on to a ski lodge.

Durango

This is Tommy's new home while in Colorado. The group can park  at this farm and store their stuff here when they are not out on the trail.

This is his view while on the trail.

Sometimes on his days off he gets to go to cool places like the San Juan National park.  It's elevation is 12,000 feet.

During his last time off he stayed at a hostel in Silverton.  A super cool, old small town in Colorado.

I can't wait to hear where he goes and what he does next.

On August 25, 2016 Thomas said goodbye to Bellingham Washington with these last beautiful pictures.  He had a great year working for Washington Conservation Corps. 

Now he is packing up and heading to Durango Colorado for a new adventure.

He is off...
His trip was a bit stressful because he car had a couple of problems but the bright spot

In-n-Out burger.
Good Luck Tommy!
