It is now the end of December, 2005. We closed II down and secured it for the winter in mid November, then went to III for the final time there. Of course we couldn't just sit and relax and think about what all we had accomplished. Instead we went to work on the pond dam, clearing the trees we had already cut, and cut the larger trees on the dam down and into firewood.
We then burned the scrub left over from the trees.
Then we started to put things away not knowing if and when we would return. Herself secured the shack while I tended the mowers, 4-wheeler, and put tools away. It is a difficult time not knowing when we will get back, but it gives us something to look forward to.
I know that when Spring comes, we will need to finish the trails before everything turns green to avoid the ticks and also so we can see more than 15 feet in front of us. I also hope to build a couple of bridges across some ravines, mainly just to see if I can do it.
When the trails are done, our next project will be to complete the screen room, which shouldn't take to long, as we just have to install one more section of screen and a couple of doors.
After that, the projects will fall into place as we determine what we want to do next. Probably clear some more land and work on our drive way, and cut more trees, and mow, and work on the shack, and and and and and and more ands.
We hope to make it to either II and/or III this new years weekend. Maybe for only a day but who cares. Much better than watching football all weekend. So, if we make it to the cabins, perhaps there will be another tale to tell.
Until then
