We continued spending the majority of our free time working on the fixer upper home, did a lot of garden bed prep and planting, went to events in town. Linc continued enjoying meeting with a mens' group every Sunday. Jeanne got together with several friends for walks, movies and game nights, which Linc and a friend or two sometimes attended. Finally, we decided we really needed to get up to the mountains, got our morning chores done as quick as possible, drove 40 minutes or so, got on our mountain bikes and road up to Lost Lake campground, then went for a beautiful hike that took us to Dollar Lake (where Linc went swimming for 0.3 seconds), Lost Lake (Jeanne crossing outlet), and Lost Lake Slough. I'll include a short video of Jeanne crossing the outlet log debris at Lost Lake, mainly because the ending is pretty funny!
Here's Lost Lake.

Oh, one strange thing happened on June 13th. We had planted our tomato and squash seedlings out a week or two before, figuring we were way past last frost. It only got down to 43 F on our min/max thermometer overnight, but the night sky was perfectly clear, and we ended up with frost everywhere, including on the plants INSIDE our hoophouse! In fact the ones inside the hoophouse were set back the most, but everything got frosted. We lost maybe 20% of our tomato and squash plants, and the remainder got slowed down quite a bit as they recovered, as did our potatoes that had been growing up through the mulch in their four beds. Wow, 43 F and freezing!?
