Reflections of 2011 January 10-15



After Enjoying the Christmas Season of 2010,we had a January activity for the young single adults at the cabin. I invited Tristan Winegar to go up to the cabin with me on Monday so we would be ready for the activity on Friday and Saturday. Fortunately he brought some friends because we found our big truck and snowcat completely covered with snow as you can see in this picture.We finally uncovered the snowcat, got it started and thought we had done our day's work. We left for the cabin and all went well until we reached the road just passed Hanson's water slide where we found trees down across the road too big and heavy for the snowcat to go over. When we realized we couldn't even pull the trees out of the way with the snowcat, we were glad Tristan had four other friends with him. Some started digging with shovels and others went after a chainsaw. We spent the rest of the day with chainsaws, shovels and the snowcat removing 19 trees it had literally been pushed down by the heavy snow across the road. With additional work on two different days later we had a wonderful YSA activity with about 80 attending at the cabin. It was a great successful event.
