Weekend at the cabin

Ice crystals in the creek on the way to Jim & Steve's blind. It was very clear and cold and the ice formations along the creek were so beautiful. I know the picture doesn't really do it justice but you get the idea.

The mighty snowshoers on the way to Jim's blind. We really had a lot of fun snowshoeing. Don thought it was the first time he had actually worn the snowshoes he made. The snow was perfect for shoeing and for the first time in a long time I was able to go to all the blinds (Jim, Don, Steve, Tom, and Jerry's) and not worry too much about getting tripped up in all the underbrush. Following some of the deer trails was a little tricky but we managed - Jim was sure we were trying to kill him the 2nd day out but he made it. You know I was tired when sitting down in the outhouse in 20 degrees felt good!

Gus enjoyed the weekend at the cabin so much he gave Jim a big kiss! It was clear and sunny all three days and we all wondered why we don't go up in the winter more often - aside from the distance. Gary told us we missed the "big snow" by about 2 weeks. We were also surprised to see the parcel across the road from us had been logged. Gary said it took them about 10 days. The pulled the last truck full of logs out on Saturday. Doris will be sitting in a field if she goes over to the pond to read now.
