Hells Canyon Adventures
For Sam and Stephanie Brown's
17th
Wedding
Anniversary,
Stephanie bought tickets for them
and the two oldest children to go
down river with Hells Canyon Ad­
ventures. Stephanie had hoped on
the trip they would see a bear. Well
the trip was fabulous, they went all
the way down to Kirkwood Mu­
seum and yes, they saw a nice big
bear. Then on their way home
coming up the canyon, there were
two darling little cubs peeking
around a tree. Stephanie really
wanted to get out of the car and get
closer, but they knew Mama was
If you cart see the mountains, you
are not in Halfway. The smoke has
been amazing, but so have the
fires. The fire has been active for

which have been dropping water
and retardant. Hopefully they will
be doing the same today (Tues­
day).

Ending
The weeks have just been flying
by. Hard to believe that summer is
almost over and school is starting.
Let's end this week with this
thought - Time is the coin of your
life. It is the only coin you have,
and only you can determine how it
will be spent. Be careful lest you
let other people spend it for you.
-Carl Sandburg
Have a great week everyone....
