Do you have a collection of board games if it's raining too hard to do anything? Or a library of books?

 

[airbiscuit]

Organize the shed!

They did leave some games and cards there but dearest wants me to remove the propane grill in the kitchen if its to crummy outside.

Our kids got us a Lego Tuxedo Cat for rainy days.... 1700 pieces. It' about 1/2 done. Not sure how our real Tuxedo Cat will react to it once it has a face.

Packing to head south but dearest got busy at work and will run late tonight, but we are going in the am anyway. Got the machine loaded and have some lumber on board as well. Weather looks OK for doing trail work.

 

[ArlyA]

Ok, we had a great afternoon here. Meet with snowplowing guys and seems we'll be hiring them. Liked the fellows and figured out we have mutual friends. Got more trail in cleared and even grabbed some firewood. Grilling lake trout now.

Cool the way Lego has kept up with the times and continues to remain relevant.

I think this one would be more appropriate for ArlyA...

What will they use to snow plow the road to your cabin?

We're not. A plow truck would get stuck in the mud. Once you get snow, things don't freeze under it very well. We plan to roll the snow down and drive in the same way we are now, but will pods (tracks) on.

 

[EddieWalker]

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. What type of equipment will the snowplow guys that you hired use to clear the snow off of your road?

I'm not sure but the fellows who were here had a 250 ford which did have a plow mount.

 

[dodge man]

I think the question is what are they plowing for you Arly? If they aren’t plowing the road in are the just doing the entrance and parking area? A guess on my part.

 

[ArlyA]

It's just the parking area to be plowed.

We got lots of clearing done around the camp site and road in yesterday. We generally work on the road in the am and come back for lunch. Nice to do something else in the afternoon. At the camp, tree shoots were taking over so we're cutting them back. They had a wood stove in the work shed (its quite small a shed) with balsam branches against the chimney and the tree was 18ft tall! I texted the previous owner and asked if he liked balsams and he responded "they just take over". I'll post photos when home.

 

[ArlyA]

Got home late today and will process pics tomorrow. Had a tree blow down over the driveway hours before we left. Like I posted earlier, it was windy day.

 

[ArlyA]

A few pics taken over the weekend. The clay here is quite shallow and rocks everywhere. I'd guess this is shelf rock. 1st two are early morning snow fall.

 

[airbiscuit]

The rock outcroppings are cool.

 

[MossRoad]

I really enjoy country with rock ledge like that. I'm so used to corn fields here.

Camp gen fuel consumption was about 2.5 gallons in 11 days. Of course we just run it for a few hours in the evening as we change up various battery's and have one extra light in the dinning area.

We are still using the original 40lb propane tank but that's only used for cooking but when we got the place, it was already heavily used. It is connected to a wall heater we plan to light at some point.
