Drive home from California 12-30-09

Where's the mountain's ???

Love watching the snow plows
Clearing the way for us. Thanks

Our first day we put in about 8 hours of driving in. We love getting the most of it the first day. After spending the night we woke up to a white out. Hubby asked me if we wanted to wait it out or go for it. I told him lets try it we have chains if we need them. Luckily we followed behind trucks and snow plows thru the hairy parts. Now I know why they call it WHITE OUT'S. We saw lots of cars over the side of the roads. Idiot's drive slower in these conditions!!!

Hubby's first kill !!! WARNING bloody pictures's

Hubby went hunting for the last time this year. He finally got his first kill. It was a calf she was less than a year old. We heard that the young one's have good meat while the older elk's are really gamey and tough. Our neighbor said we will get about 100 pounds of meat from this 250+ elk. I did pet her head and did say a little prayer and sorry. Her death won't go in vain we are going to eat the meat.

More friends came to see us!!!

Our friends came to see us after their Thanksgiving dinner. It was a long drive for them and a as a short visit for us. Miss them so much. They got here around 3 p.m. Friday we went to dinner at Rib City. Saturday I took them up the mountains to see the Rifle Falls. Rick fished a little bit while I took the girls up to sled. We had a great time hopefully next time they can stay longer.
