After an afternoon
of 4 wheeling in the cold, damp weather, the group headed back to
the cabin for a little R & R. Roaming around the cabin
area was interesting. The ice was everywhere coating
everything. Check the pictures. You kind of felt bad
for all the plants. When you walk on the ferns and
grass, it just snapped off.
Soon it was time to
head down to our favorite dinner spot at the Central Hotel in
Curwensville, home of some of the best Delmonico steaks in the
county. Only problem was, the recent ice storm had taken out
the power lines and while that wasn't a problem here down in the
valley in Curwensville, it did cause a lot of damage up on the
mountain. The damage resulted in power line crews in the
area to build up an appetite and someone apparently told them
about the Delmonico steaks. Well, the Central Hotel was
simply out of Delmonicos.
Coming up to these
mountains in the winter for a weekend of 4 wheeling is always
interesting. You never know what you'll find. One
year, you're 4 wheeling in the snow, the next year, it's ice, the
next it's sunny and spring like.

Later on the gang sat around the
fire singing winter tunes like this rendering
of "Walkin' In A Winter
Wonderland" as they sipped on Yuengling
Lagers. Well, not really but this tune has
been circulating the Internet and just seems
appropriate.
Wheelin'
Through a Winter Wonderland
(Sung to the tune "Walkin'
In A Winter Wonderland")
Beads pop off, are you listenin'
Cold wind through - your ears is whistlin'
Your winch falls apart, your engine won't start
Wheelin' through a winter wonderland
Snow is deep, your butt is freezin'
Broke a birfield, it ain't pleasin'
You're starting to slide, on your wheels, then
your side
Wheelin' through a winter wonderland
On the hillclimb we can barely make it
Traction's really nowhere to be found
Pull the cable, snatch the block and fake it.
Or claw along and put the hammer down!
Later on, we'll perspire
Drying gloves by the fire
Counting things that we broke, "That's
Wheeling" we'll joke,
Wheeling through a winter wonderland...
