The Fire Ban is Lifted!


Hooray!  Isn't it great to know that our area has received enough rain in the last couple of weeks that they have rescinded the fire ban!

It was an extremely busy week for Glenn so we headed out Friday night after work to relax and do a little camping and ATVing.  We had hopes of going to a new place but because it was further and we didn't know about the wilderness camping, we opted to go to Buffalo Peaks where we knew we could get a camping spot!

We found a great spot to camp and because we had stopped and gotten Subway sandwiches to eat on the way over there, we didn't even have to cook so it was set up and relax!!

We headed out the next morning on the ATV and Glenn was thrilled to find a cabin out in the middle of nowhere!!  Sometimes the forest service has these cabins on a first come, first serve basis and we're not sure this was one of those but it still is a usable cabin!!  Because Glenn and friend Bob may hunt this area next year, he already has plans to stay there!!!  In fact, he thought we should grab the sleeping bags and stay there for the night!!  I assured him that the cabin was a "guy" thing as it needed just a little bit of cleaning and our camper was MUCH more comfortable!!  (our camper also has running water and a bathroom - he he)

But I have to say the cabin is cute perched right there in the middle of nowhere and I can just picture Glenn and Bob sitting in their chairs on the front porch, drinking a beer!!

We hit some great trails and I loved this mountain which looked so very bald from a distance!!


The best part of the trip:  THE CAMPFIRE!!!!  Yes, I had brought a new bag of fluffy marshmallows and they tasted SO good!!  I had almost forgotten how good the a campfire smells!!
