Az Christmas- Gathering Wood Project

I always forget how the deset is stunning in it's own way.
Blue skies, vaste horizons, impressive mountains, and unique plants.
I got to rediscover that during our family service project.

My dad asked us to help him gather some firewood for a family in the community.  I was happy to have a chance for my kids to do a bit of service this holiday time.  A few years ago, my dad partially cleared this land by bulldozing most of the mosiquite trees together in these huge piles.  All we had to do was gather up the dry wood, while avoiding any scorpions or snakes we might find, and throw it on the trailers, and deliver it.









The cousins came to help too.



Here's the in-laws working hard.

Here's the sons hardly working;)




 Unloading at the base of Hyder mountain.



It was a good day.  My kids worked hard and got dirty.  That's why we come to Hyder.
