After going about as far down into the valley as we wanted it go, we
turned south and started climbing back up.
We took a route over to the a
frozen mud hole with a bunch of small mounds of dirt surrounding it and
played on the hills.
Down to a large clearing where we build a fire,
roasted some hot dogs, reseated the bead on a quad tire, shot a few pics,
had a few beers.
The tower...
We're not quite sure what this tower is for, but
it appears to be a temporary structure with wind gauges up top and a solar
data collection box at the bottom. We think it might be there to
measure the wind up on the mountain for possible preparation to build some
wind mills. That would be an interesting sight to see those massive
wind mills up on top of the mountain here.
Lewis shot this at the wind tower.
With some daylight still left, we headed back to the cabin.
John and I decided to take a short trip down an old logging trail that
lies back behind the cabin. It's been a few years since we were
down this rough trail and it's become considerable overgrown. At a
very tight clearing we decided to turn around and head back, saving this
trail for another day when we can clear out some of the tight brush.
Besides, it was time to head down to the Steakhouse again!
This time we had a large group coming for dinner and Stephen had called
head to have a large table reserved.
The famous menu.
Found this in a Yuengling Lager. Looks like a fake christmas tree
needle.
Back at the cabin for the evening. After a long
couple of days of wheeling all over the mountain, then a good dinner, it
was time for some poker, a few beers and some good music. Bob, Eric
and John brought their guitars and had some fun. Later it was a mix
of good guitar rifts by Eric Johnson blue toothed from an iPhone over to a
speaker gadget with some great sound quality. Dick and his girl
friend, who we met up with down at the Steak place, joined us after dinner
up at the cabin. It was a good January trip once again up here as
always.
