The Hoydens are residents of Klamath Falls. Houston

way to take pictures of the beautiful scenery in Fremont
Nationol forest and to chat with others who were making
camp early.
The spot picked out by the group above was a familiar
one to them. They last visited the secluded camp two years
ago and had been there in hunting season many times
before.
They hoped to bag their bucks by Sunday and break
camp.
