Summer Fun...kids, water, trains and mountains
Author: RyanWilkerson

As the summer fun comes to a close, I was looking through the photos and found this one that had many of the key ingredients. My two sons and a friend chase trains with me one morning just south of Dunsmuir at Castle Creek. The locals build a small rock dam to create a place to swim and swing on the rope under the bridge. In this photo, my oldest son and his friend watch the southbound train head over the creek while my youngest son kicks out on the swing.

Thanks NS and Ted. I think it might be the cover of this summer's photo book!

Cool pic Ryan. Tell the boys to tear that Dam down. Don't they know Lake Shasta needs the water? Lol.

Trust me, my oldest daughter is starting her sophmore year of college in two weeks while my youngest is just started her junior year of high school today, it is not only the summers that get shorter. Looking back it seems like it was only about the length of a nice long shower that my oldest was starting kindergarten.

Very nice photo, btw. Has a lot of the flavor of an OWL photo, just a lot more light.

Glad you guys enjoyed the photo too. I was happy when I clicked the shutter and peaked at the result.
I'm enjoying the time with them at this age, and Bob at his age. They grow up so quickly...or not :-)
