What a crazy weekend!

This weekend we went up to camp for what will probably be the last time before Gram puts it on the market. Zach, the twins, Kaiden and myself drove up Thursday afternoon/evening. Thankfully it was an uneventful ride, and we saw 4 deer on the drive up! Friday morning Zach was downstairs with the twins and they saw a doe with her twin fawns in the yard! Too cool!

We spent most of the day at camp, since we were waiting for Nate to arrive, then Mom and Robert to arrive, since nobody else had a key into camp. Though, it also didn't help that we'd managed to completely blow out a tire on the dirt road into camp the night before!

Friday night Zach, Nate and myself went out looking for moose, and saw a bunch, including a cow and calf that were practically strolling down the road next to our car. Unfortunately, it was pretty dark out by this time, so I wasn't able to get a decent picture. Still cool!

Saturday morning we spent in camp, since Mom and Robert had taken our car to Newport (2 hours away!) to get a new tired for the van. After they got back we (Zach, Nate and myself) went in town to get some of the best fudge ever from the corner store, then took a hike up to the crashed B-52 on Elephant Mtn. It was the first time Zach had been to the site, so that was really interesting. While we were out, Robert went fishing with the twins, while Mom watched after Kaiden.

That night we all went out looking for moose and wound up discovering some cool new sites, including a big electric dam! We also saw a bull moose, fox, and a ton of rabbits. While we were doing this, Nate and Zach drove to Spencer Pond to go fishing. On the way back, THEY blew a tire! Thankfully a tire repair kit was available at the trading post, and the tire held up until we hit Newport on the way home. There he stopped and had the tire changed while we went ahead home in the van.

Thankfully the weather was AWESOME all weekend, and despite the two blown tires and related frustration, it was a pretty good weekend! I'm hoping we will be able to go up at least once more before it is sold, it really is my sanctuary up there.

Pictures will be coming soon!
