Cabin trip Part 1: The Cabin

So Tom invited me to go the cabin since Stephanie is at Girl's Camp and we thought it'd be fun get out of heat for a while. Stephanie's only request was that I take lot pictures (something I'm really bad at but Tom helped me remember) so we got there Friday afternoon quickly unloaded then went cruising on rhino see couple cool spots do some geocaching.





We saw a rainbow and could even spot where the pot of gold should have been.


We forgot to take our rain suits since it was clear and we figured we wouldn't be gone long. haha bad idea! It started lightly sprinkling and we tried to race ahead of the storm but we were soaked by the time we got back!








We went back out this time remembering the rain suits and of course it didn't rain anymore but it was fun as Tom took me around to a couple different geocaches.



Tom even let me drive!!!



We went back to the cabin and had some good food from the grill. The next day Tom took me to a Forest lookout tower that is about 65 ft off the ground. The guy who mans it stays there 6 days a week 24 hrs a day during the "season" which can last almost 4 months! We got a cool tour of his 12x12 space and he pointed out stuff like 4 peaks and other mtn. ranges, lakes etc. It was an awesome view.





He also showed us what kind of stuff he catches up there...




We went and saw a couple other really cool spots...













All in all it was a great trip until about 6pm on Saturday.

To be continued...
