Saturday morning we decided to pack up and head for the hills. The temperature was supposed to get to the mid 40's which would be nice for what we intended to do. We got to Shag III around 10:30 AM. We opened the shack expecting to find mice, but none were found.
We then unloaded the necessities and got out the equipment we needed to work on our trails, and off we went. We forged a new trail from the SE corner of the property and made it all the way past the pond and on to one of our previous trails. Then we cut off and started off for the NE corner of the property. We then came to a huge ravine. I need to find a place to build a bridge and I think I have found it. So we will forge a trail that will end on the other side of the ravine and thats where I will build a bridge. It will be my first attempt at building a bridge, so I will be looking for volunteers to be the first to cross it.
About 3:00 pm and we decided we better quit and head for Shag II for the nite, as we needed rest after working all day and didn't want to be up in the nite feeding the fire(we are not true pioneers, yet). So off to II. All was well till I turned on the water. The pipe to the toilet was leaking again, so it was back and forth to the hydrant and toilet to get it fixed. Finally decided there was no hope, so just shut the water off for the nite.
Sunday, we got up and had a good breakfast, closed up II and headed back to III. Herself and I spent the day cleaning up the trails we had forged. Then I went exploring as did Herself, both off in different directions, but after about an hour we ended up about 100 yards from each other.
We think we may have a couple of locations for a future house, but that may change as time goes on.
The temp got up to 56 degrees with some sunshine. Two perfect days for trail breaking.
Had lunch about 2:30, then packed up and headed home to await our next adventure to the timber.
