</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We arrive and unload the truck and trailer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Put the chips out on the ground and not long the deer come to see whats up!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I think that they can smell the chips from far away!</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well, as you can see, they have found the chips! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They like to eat these because they have lots of salt on them.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pat and I spent the night here at Critter Cabin. The deer came in to get their chips and salt at 4:00 pm. Seems like they had a built in clock as they come about that time everyday. After a long day of working on moving the limbs and cutting wood we had a nice dinner of homemade chili. Played several games of rummy~ which Pat is still winning, then off to bed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Good thing! Pat has some challenging trees to fall today.</div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5au5de7SI/AAAAAAAAAQM/wLRP92M4xm8/s1600/cc123111.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5au5de7SI/AAAAAAAAAQM/wLRP92M4xm8/s320/cc123111.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These two big pine and one large fir are the best challenge for Pat. They will all have lines on them as they lean heavily towards the cabin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5ax-yS9DI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/OG2idt_HlKk/s1600/cc123113.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" s5="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5ax-yS9DI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/OG2idt_HlKk/s320/cc123113.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the pine that didn't want to fall. With a line on it, Pat faced it up,then it fell in another pine and didn't want to fall so Josh pulled and pulled on it.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5az9DK-rI/AAAAAAAAAQU/NxN6orKYyGA/s1600/cc123115.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" s5="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5az9DK-rI/AAAAAAAAAQU/NxN6orKYyGA/s320/cc123115.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Finally it fell! Not much room between the other tree and the shed!</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5a1_pq_1I/AAAAAAAAAQY/rfCgDzpny-U/s1600/cc123119.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" s5="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5a1_pq_1I/AAAAAAAAAQY/rfCgDzpny-U/s320/cc123119.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now to the first big pine. Pat putting a face in it and chopping the rest of it out, making sure that it is perfect.</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5a4tkyiXI/AAAAAAAAAQc/hUQX3GiXH6U/s1600/cc1231112.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" s5="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5a4tkyiXI/AAAAAAAAAQc/hUQX3GiXH6U/s320/cc1231112.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wow, what a big difference this will make! We cut some of this pine into logs. We might have someone interested in them. Oh, the limbs on this thing! They are huge.</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5a7bzRHXI/AAAAAAAAAQg/cfAPx5x-gqc/s1600/cc1231115.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" s5="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5a7bzRHXI/AAAAAAAAAQg/cfAPx5x-gqc/s320/cc1231115.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the last tree of the day and the most challenging of them all. It is really closed to the shed so Pat has to make sure and do a good job. Again the high stump is for me and my birds!</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5a98z3DCI/AAAAAAAAAQk/V1QqEj8IpQs/s1600/cc1231117.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TT5a98z3DCI/AAAAAAAAAQk/V1QqEj8IpQs/s320/cc1231117.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh, my! Look at all those branches! Anyone want to come move branches?</div><br />

We hope that we don't have to chain up around the pond again. There was lots of ice in that area last time. As we travel to the pond area, no snow or ice in sight! Yes!!!! NO chains today! The road is soft from all the water so we make sure that we stay in the road suface and not wander off the edge of the road.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pat gets started on trees out back by the propane tank. With only a few feet to work in without getting to close to the propane tank. He gets all the trees cut and limbed without any trouble. Josh is there to help him out with a line on the trees so that they make sure and go away from the cabin and the propane tank.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
After getting all the trees cut and things picked up. Nate and I go for a walk to the pond area to see if there is any deer around. Five are standing by the little pond. We throw rocks on the ice, wow it is still really frozen! The deer start walking towards the cabin, Nate and I decide to leave and head back to see where the deer are going. As we near the cabin, the deer are waiting by the fence. I think that they want their chips! I grab and bag full and walk over to the tree where we dump them. Here they come!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We load up everything and get on our way about 5:00. Knowing that dark will arrive soon. It was a great day at Critter Cabin.

We have plans to do lots of falling, cutting and piling today. Of course we have to chain up again ~ that is a given this time of year. Seems that the roads are all iced up in the shaded areas. It has been really cold lately so lots of frozen snow along the sides of the road. After arriving at Critter Cabin, we build a fire and unload our food and get our saws ready for the day. The wind starts to blow some ~~ great~~ how can this be? Guess that we will have to work on trees away from the Cabin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This makes for a scary turn around the corner and up the hill. Be careful Pat and don't fall down on that ice! After this walk on the road, we both put on our cork-boots! Thank God for those boots. Makes it so nice to walk around and not worry about falling down.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I think that Pat had something to do with this also, as he knows that I want to spend Christmas up there. The snow has added up and was going to make it very challenging to get up the hill around the corners and through the woods! So off we go late in the afternoon, of course we all have to chain up the trucks, lots of snow on the road and ice in lots of places. No one has driven on the road to the gate yet. Deer tracks are all over the place, they are here, but hiding I would say. We arrive at the pond, what a beautiful site! Sure does look cold here! The trees are so beautiful! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Friends! Photos!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Time to head off to Critter Cabin again! We have our good friends from Alaska here and want to show it off! Well we decide to get going by 11 am. Stopping by Safeway to pick up a few shrimp to put on the grill on the campfire first. We have lots of other things to eat, but Shrimp just tops it off!</div><br />
We drive to Mosier and up towards Critter Cabin. Getting towards the top of the hill and close to the private drive road, we encounter snow on the road and decide to put on the chains!<br />
<br />
Pat and Bruce jump out, get them on in record time, think that they were in a private race to see who was the fastest one! Well, we girls were sitting in the truck and not paying attention to them!<br />
<br />

Not many people have been on the road for sometime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Come to the first gate, frozen and needs some extra beating to get it opened up. Moving along, we drive always and find a tree that has fell across the road! We all unload and just then Josh drives up! Great another chain saw! With all of us on that tree, it didn’t take long to get it cut and loaded in the truck. Off we go!</span></div><br />

We head off, Josh takes the lead and puts his plow down and plows a lot of the road out! Wow, how very nice of him! This will make it a lot easier to get back in here next time! Thank you Josh!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Off we go to Critter Cabin, forecast is for snow. That is ok, as we have lots of burning to do and alittle snow won't hurt anybody! We arrive and it is cold in the cabin~~burr 35 degrees, hurry and build a fire in the stove! After getting a nice fire going and unload our food and things that we brought we decide to head off to the piles to burn! We have covered all the piles alot earlier and so they are dry! Light that baby and let it burn, so we did! This is the biggest pile to burn and will take most of the day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div> Pile number two is alot of rotten logs and sticks around in the woods. Have to clean it up for the critters to get around alot easier. We did have two more piles going also. Needless to say, it was nice to get rid of all the junk wood around the area.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well we got lots of things done around the cabin, piles burned and lots of wood, sticks picked up. Cut some branches off trees and burned them also. We got lots done inside, trim back up around the window area, curtains hung up and most of all stuff put away. Now it is back to a home again, instead of a shop! Most of all I got ahead of Pat in Rummy!!!!! It is a running game, started in Feb 13, 2009. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Decide to stop and get a trailer load of chips for the critters, as we know that the acorns are far and few this year. We arrive at the cabin, no deer or turkeys around this trip. We dump and spread out all the chips that we brought for the turkeys, deer and the crows! Guess that it has been to long since we have been here. Have lots of things to do, drain the water tanks so that they don't freeze, put away chairs, table and most of all cover the piles so that we can burn them later this winter. Fun time for me, I love to burn! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We get all our things done, decide to take a walk around, find some wood that is easy to cut and load. Guess that we will need more wood anyway. Below are some of the things that I find to take photos of. Lots of mushrooms around this time of year. I would say that these are not the kind to eat! Sure look pretty though!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well kind of a sad day, as we both love to come to Critter Cabin, but knowing that the snow level is going to drop low for several days, and that the elevation is 2500 feet here, it doesn't look good. We will have to hope that we have a mild weather so that we can make it back real soon!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh, Did I forget to tell you that we go the window trim up and it looks great!

Overcast sky and time to get some more wood, finish the wall around the window and see what was on the game camera. We were driving in and next to the cabin were these turekys! I just bet that got there fill of chips just before we arrived here. I could hear them say Gobble ~ Gobble which means in turkey talk: Thank you! They just wandered on there way like they had some place else they had to head too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TJvu__l03wI/AAAAAAAAAIw/pTnRmG-qBgk/s1600/turkeys1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" px="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TJvu__l03wI/AAAAAAAAAIw/pTnRmG-qBgk/s320/turkeys1.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We worked on the walls around the window for several hours, had a nice lunch and decided to cut some wood for home. There is lots of little logs that was left here from the previous owners, most of it is still good enough for firewood ~ atleast for us that is! So we cut away and load up a pickup full and also the little trailer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TJvvE4qKiHI/AAAAAAAAAI4/-JfRlweXq_c/s1600/wood1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" px="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TJvvE4qKiHI/AAAAAAAAAI4/-JfRlweXq_c/s320/wood1.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Maybe we could make a fort out of these instead! They seem like the right size of logs? What do you think?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

To our dissapointment there are not many pictures on it. Rats! I just knew that I would get a large buck or maybe a bear ~ what did we get ~~~~ a raven!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We had a great time, as always and can''t wait to get back to Critter Cabin again! Till then, keep the smile on and be safe !</div>Crittter Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03414098728001458550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611460805350073987.post-25988515890315676002010-09-19T19:36:00.000-07:002010-09-19T19:36:32.704-07:00Back to Critter Cabin we Go!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We decided last minute to head over to Critter Cabin to see if the deer and the turkeys have been around. Well I guess so, all the corn and the chips that we put out are gone! And the turkeys have been roosting on the porch! Great, Turkey poop! Looks like they need some more food! I think that we will move the food from the cabin some though. Cut a load of wood to take back home, we have lots of wood piled all over the place. Pretty easy to get right now. We have several standing trees that Pat is going to cut down here soon though. Some big pines and a few Doug Fir, these are to close to the cabin for us. Sun is much needed here as we have solar power panels.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Friday evening and Saturday morning we got the last of the two windows in. It will help out for light in the front of the cabin. Of course it will be great to see all the animals that come in to check us out! Just have to finish up the outside trim and we are set!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TJbEOhngSOI/AAAAAAAAAIo/oONYySqNybQ/s1600/cc1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/TJbEOhngSOI/AAAAAAAAAIo/oONYySqNybQ/s320/cc1.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"> Well for the water~~~ we seem to have all broken pipes under the cabin! Great, now what. Fix them dear Pat, fix them! We went to Home Depot and got some pex pipe and all the fittings and will get on the job ASAP. It sure will be nice to sit on the toilet in the cabin and have running water at the sink!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We are going back sometime this week to check on the game cameras and get some more wood to bring home. I will post some nice photos of great big bucks or big giant bulls on my next blog. Well if they run in front of the camera that is!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Till then, put a smile on and enjoy the day!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Well this little guy decides to climb and big pine and sit on a limb. Perfect for a photo! I got out snapped several photos of him or her and then we were on our way. <div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/THpzTNrPuYI/AAAAAAAAAIA/pOOwvZsY1rA/s1600/cc3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/THpzTNrPuYI/AAAAAAAAAIA/pOOwvZsY1rA/s320/cc3.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">The cabin is in good shape after the 3 months that we were gone. Lots of dry grass everywhere, bees busy with there nests and a mouse fell in the toilet! Great, what in the heck was he thinking! Our stay this time was to get the water going. We got out the directions that was given to us by the previous owners and started out. First was to fine all the faucets and shut off values. Well, no notes on all those places. I say just turn on the water and see what happens. Ok, we head up the the shed turn on the water, drive the 4 wheeler back down and water is going everywhere! Well guess that they forgot to drain under the house. Rats!! I was just thinking how nice it would be to use the toilet inside! Oh well, next trip we can get it fixed hopefully!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Our next project is to put in a nice big window so that there is more light in the eating area and also to see any animals coming up from the lower road. This is going to be a big project here. Have to remember that there is no electricity here and everything is by solar or generator. Measure, cut, pull staples, think! After most of the day was gone we get the window in place. Now to get some paneling or boards to finish the inside wall. That will happen the next trip over.</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I think that we might have saw one! Anyway this a photo of a doe that was eating cucumbers at the salt lick, thought that I would get a closer look and she jumped over the fence. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

New visitors at Critter Cabin over the past few weeks. <br />
<br />
This bear is trying to get to a bag of goodies that we have hanging on the branch. Below you will see the way he decided to do it or maybe it was a different bear. After getting here on Saturday morning I decided to walk to check the game camera's. Noticed that the camera was around the back side of the tree from where I had left it, guess that the bear didn't like his picture taken or was mad that he didn't get the goodie bag! Anyway he had pawed the camera around the tree. <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/S8R7pV18e9I/AAAAAAAAAF4/5zV6151piak/s1600/april2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/S8R7pV18e9I/AAAAAAAAAF4/5zV6151piak/s400/april2.JPG" width="400" wt="true" /></a></div><br />
Pat and I got lots and lots of pine needles picked up and branches moved. It is looking great around here now! Cut some firewood also for home. <br />
<br />
We had several visitors this weekend. Some guys that want to hunt turkeys from the Portland area. Justin and Dalton that was hunting turkeys, got close to them but nothing in the bag! They are here but know that it isn't Thanksgiving yet!<br />
<br />
Kristy, Jeff and the kids showed up also. We had a great lunch of hot dogs and marshmollows on the campfire! Yum :) Then we headed out for a walk to look for sheds heard some turkeys gobbling accross the other side. All the kids had their try at calling for a turkey. Was a great time.<br />

We begin our weekend by raking and burning needles, moving limbs and piling them. What a job that is. This ant nest is located behind the cabin~~ Wow! what a lot of little biting guys in this nest. After several hours of work, we decide to head off to look for horns around the place. I find one nice one. Check out what else we find below!!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/S61qjy0FgdI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/r2A_ki91tK0/s1600/ants2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" nt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h29N2ZQcFIw/S61qjy0FgdI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/r2A_ki91tK0/s320/ants2.JPG" width="320" /></a>Is it what you think it is??? A giant ant nest? The asnwer is at the bottom of the blog. After getting the BBQ going we cook our deer steak and pork and beans, we decide to relax and then play a few games of rummy~ Pat is now ahead of me! Rats! I need a plan to get him with a lot of point cards in his hand. Got any ideas? Sunday morning we wake up to rain!! What~~ A wonderful Saturday, then we get this! Oh, well make the best of it and get some things done. Bob and his family show up after lunch and get some fire wood for their camping trip this weekend. We head home right after that. Time sure goes fast here. Oh, by the way~~ that is a huge pile of needles that I moved and piled. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

After several weeks we finally made it back to Critter Cabin. So good to see the grass green coming up and some pussy willows coming out at the pond. We had lots and lots of pictures on the game camera's. My movie didn't work out, what a bummer! Below you will see a nice tom turkey that got his picture taken. <br />
We did some work cleaning up around the outside, cutting some wood that was left and piling up some sticks and limbs. <br />
Went for a walk to look for sheds~no luck. I know that they are around there somewhere though! Altough we had some bucks with horns still. <br />

Off we go to the cabin this weekend! We have lots planned for this weekend, getting the limbs burned and lots of clean up done outside before the next rain, which is coming this week. Of course it is to windy to burn ,so we head off to a road that is over grown with trees, brush and down trees. We want to clean this out for a hunting trail. We clean out about half the trail, booped we head back to the cabin for a nice adult beverage and relax. Check out the game camera's and find several pictures of does! Where have the bucks gone~ did they lose their horns already? We had better start looking for sheds soon! Night comes and we cuddle down to a warm fire and play several games of rummy~which Pat is still ahead in the game. Wake up to six deer feeding in front of the cabin. Sunday brings a better day for burning,so we get started on that. After a fire gets buring we decide to cut some firewood and move the rest of the oak wood into the shed. What alot of wood to move! About 3:00 we pick up and leave for home~ knowing that we have a dinner date with some friends. We had a great time again at Critter Cabin.Crittter Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03414098728001458550noreply@blogger.com0
