Welcome back to Critter Cabin!

We decided to take off and spend the weekend at Critter Cabin.
It is supposed to be a really nice weekend.
We get going early Friday afternoon.
We stoped by to get some chips for the animals on the way, knowing that they are ready for some treats!
We arrive and unload the truck and trailer.
Put the chips out on the ground and not long the deer come to see whats up!
I think that they can smell the chips from far away!
Well, as you can see, they have found the chips!
They like to eat these because they have lots of salt on them.
Same old bunch of deer that are always around the area.
You have heard me talk about Spilt Ear, well he is in this herd.
We see them most all day in the area around the cabin.
One hen turkey, wonder where all her freinds went?
"Hey.... Everybody its turkey season ~~ run for your life!"
This Tom Turkey was walking up behind the cabin gobbling his head off, all by himself!
Guess that this Tom turkey knew that he was safe with us!
One nice beard on him.
Just bet that a turkey hunter would love to shoot him!
Friday and Saturday evening we would listen to the turkeys gobbling
all around the area in every direction.
This is an old road that Pat and I wanted to clear out.
The road goes to a property that we had prior to getting this cabin property.
It has lots of wood on it to cut that is standing dead.
There was a fire on it in 2001, called The Sheldon Ridge Fire.
Lots of work brushing this road out, it took both of us 6 hours to do it.
Back at the cabin for lunch, well it is rest time for us too.
We had to take five for a nap in the sun!
All done!
WOW!
What a job!
We are standing on ROLLING ROCK BLUFF!
Everybody just has to roll rocks off this bluff!
The view is great out here at the end of the road.
The snow covered hills in the distance are the Simcoe Mountains by Goldendale Washington.
Time of year that they flowers are out!
This is a Sagebrush Buttercup.
Blue Eyed Grass
These are really pretty flowers.
Good old pine cone.
Some unusual mushrooms
Looks like something from China ~ what ~~Did I say that!
Well, back to Rolling Rock Bluff.
Just to show everybody that the road was cleared out enough
for the diesel to drive down without scratching it all up.
Laura resting on the 4 wheeler.
Hey, does anybody notice the wheels on the 4 wheeler?
Yep, car tires on it with chains!
Really works good, and they don't cost alot of money to buy.
Pat driving the truck back to the cabin.
Great improvement to the property.
Out with Reba for a walk and what do I see!
How many people have gotten a photo of a deer in air like this?
Or maybe like this?
Hey ! ~~~ wait for me!
Two down and one to go!
All the dinner for Saturday night was cooked outside on the fire!
Look below to see what was cooked.
Beef steak, potatoes, celery and carrots!
Yummy!
To top off the dinner
was
Marshmallows!
Kristy and Jeff arrived early evening.
Kristy rode the 4 wheeler up with this turkey in her arms!
We thought it was real!
Good joke on us!
Sunday morning was spent riding the 4 wheelers around and walking around looking for shed horns.
Jeff found a nice set of shed horns and all I found was some pretty flowers.
This one is called, Yellow Fawn Lily.
Now this is called Alpine Shooting Star.
I call it Birds Peak.
Look how delicate they are.
This is a interesting thing ~~ think that it is a fungus of some kind.
This road we went down had lots of dead oak trees for wood.
It will be a great place to get our winter oak wood.
Here Jeff and Pat are moving a oak tree that is in the road.
They probably could move it by hand, but I think Jeff just wanted to try out his wench.
Kristy and Jeff brought hamburgers to cook for us over the fire.
What a nice treat and it was yummy.
It was a fun trip to Critter Cabin.
Great to have Kristy and Jeff surprise us on Saturday night. We had fun riding 4 wheelers and looking for sheds.
Was also great to get Rolling Rock Road opened up for everybody to use!
It will be nice to use for hunting and also just ride out and Roll a Rock down the Bluff!
Keep in touch for the next trip to Critter Cabin!
