Beautiful Weekend at the Cabin

We, Mike and Bunni, went up to the cabin on Thursday. The weather was perfect! The chipmunks as still working hard to get in their winter supply of food and we fed them. -A LOT-
Mike and I went on a wonderful ATV ride on some new trails. It's so much fun exploring until you find that the trail you are on (with no retreat possible) is steeper than you can control. I found the rear wheels trying to outrun the front wheels. I simply stopped with white knuckles on the brake and called to Mike. "Come get me the #@(( out of this mess!" He climbed up the slope and gingerly switched places with me. He got the machine down and I walked. We had to drive through a meadow and across a stream to get back to the road. The rest of the ride was fun and uneventful.
Joe, Katie and Jen (Katie's sister) came up on Saturday and we took Jen on her first ride. She is a natural. We rode to Asay Knoll which give you a 360 degree view of the area. We also took her to my favorite spot on the mountain - Mammoth Creek - If I were a pioneer I would have built my cabin right there and lived contentedly for the rest of my days. If I haven't taken you there, remind me the next time you're at the cabin. My grandkids will LOVE it. You can boulder hop across the stream and if you fall in it's only a foot or two deep. In the summer I guarantee they will fall in.
