| These are a few of my favorite things....at the cabin. |
We went up to our cabin for the weekend. I love going up there - it is so relaxing and peaceful and calm. The only downside was that it rained the ENTIRE time. There were a couple times we thought it had stopped, but stepped out onto the porch and realized it was still coming down - just smaller droplets. All the rain made the trail pretty muddy coming back, but still easy to navigate. No work got done; I read a full book, played bananagram by myself (Sweetie won't play with me), sketched, painted and cooked.

| Getting ready to go to the waterhole. The milk crates are used to hold the water jugs. The red one is my ride. |
On Saturday morning Tim asked if I wanted to go to the waterhole with him. I said no. And then he told me he really wanted me to go with him, so I said yes. I HATE going to the waterhole because the trail is not used much and can be very difficult. It makes me very nervous. I don't mind at all in the winter when I'm riding a snowmachine on top of the snow. But in the summer it's full of muddy hole traps that suck me and my 4-wheeler in. I did get stuck once, but Sweetie came back and got me out. All in all, it wasn't as bad as I was anticipating.

This is the "trail" right behind our cabin - we don't use it much since we come in a different direction.
 |
Tim's loading the jugs with water, I'm hanging back and waiting - I don't want to venture down into the mud bog.

Tim
scouting ahead to see the best place to cross a little ditch. You can
get stuck in a ditch pretty easily (well, maybe not everybody, but I
can).
 |
Wait
up Tim! I can hardly see you! Actually this is the easy part of the
trail - the ground is solid and not much chance I can get stuck.
Getting whacked by a branch is possible though.....

Is it far to go?
Can wooden planks be put in the wet areas where the machines get stuck?
I also don;t like muddy bog areas. You never know if you hit a sink hole Then you are in a real pickle.
Thats why sweetie doesn't want to go alone lol
This is like a slice of paradise in a far corner- so removed from anything in London. I love it.
What fun. Your weekend sounds perfect to me. Even the harrowing ride to the waterhole.
I guess it's better that the two of you go together so that if one get's stuck the other can HOLLER FOR HELP!!! wow - you are SO way out there, and it is SO beautiful.
Glad you got a book read in - if it was me...I wouldn't drink water all weekend!!
I could go for a long weekend at your cabin too! The waterhole ride sure looks like it could be tretcherous! You see any bear?
Gosh how did I miss all these posts? Guess we have been out working in our yard to much lately. :)) You probably still needed some rest from your surgery so reading a whole book was good.
