THE YEAR IS OVER-6 DEC 2006

We have finally shut down both places. It has been a GREAT year. Many of our goals have been realized, with new ones taking shape for next year. One great step forward is we now have a ladder. I was really shocked that "herself" didn't decide to make it out of cedar, but this one we can fold up and store under the bed. We will need it when we finish insulating the cabin, and will no doubt find many more uses for it.
We have splurged, and purchased a "game" camera. This camera will attach itself to a tree or similar support, and is activated by motion and heat. Hopefully we will be able to see what kind of beasts walk our trails. Of course, this also may not be so good, depending on what kind of creatures show up. We have always been curious as to what prowls around after dark, as we have seen all kinds of tracks and signs of wildlife. There have been bobcat sightings, and bear tracks, so we will see.
The new 4-wheel trail is super, although it will not be a trail for unexperienced riders or passengers. It is the new bridge trail and it is difficult in places, as son Craig can testify to.
RWH, a visitor last summer, has notified us that he has purchased an outdoor shower for us and visitors to use at the timber. A true act of kindness and generosity on his part. I imagine after he seen our previous shower set up, that he recognized if he ever wanted to shower down here that maybe it was a little to rustic for him. Just Kidding, RWH. We really appreciate the gift and look forward to testing it.

Actually, I have thought about building a ladder out of logs; I even had instruction on "how to" but just have never gotten it done yet. . . . the other side
