 I
think Jeff got to the cabin around 8:30 Friday night. It was
12:30 when Kurt (the guy on the left) finally arrived.
We hadn't seen Kurt in quite a while. He's been off playing
Merrill Lynch management in training the last few years -
something about buying expensive trash cans and whatnot.
This was probably our 4th or 5th round of coffee that
Saturday morning.

To
burn off some of the coffee energy, Gretchen and I went for a
walk on the frozen Pine Creek.
I love this shot. She looks like a wild animal in the
distance. Also looks like she got over her fears of
ice.

After our brief walk, we went our
separate ways. Gretchen went XC skiing with Jeff, while Bill,
Kurt and myself went for a Jeep ride. It didn't take us long
to find a worthy trail.
If you look real close, you'll see this trail had some
issues. Up at the top there's a fallen tree. We drove all the
up to it anyway hoping there'd be some way to move it out
of the way.

Kurt and I enjoying Bill's expert
handling of the Jeep up the hill in the
snow.

|
Though I didn't get a picture of it, we lashed onto the fallen
tree with the chains and a tow rope and tried pulling it out
of the way.
Didn't work.
So we turned the Jeep around and drove back down. |
|
|
On
the way back we drove by this burned out house. We found it
odd to have so many books in Pine Creek, so we called it the
Pine Creek library.
|

|
I
can't take enough pictures of the Jeep.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact I helped rebuild
the thing from the frame up back in the winter of 97/98. Damn
shame I don't have any pictures of
that.

Lunch was soup cans cooked on the
coal stove.
|
|
|
Dinner was to be a ham we roasted
in the oven portion of the coal stove. I meant to get a
picture of the ham in the rusty cavern, but missed that
opportunity.
|
|
|
|
Ah.
Time for another Jeep ride, but this time it was after lunch
so we took some beverages.
