| Feb. 18th, 2008 @ 10:09 am A weekend of high adventure! |
|---|
Shannon & Tim had their annual vacation (alone) so we got Lakota mid-day on Friday till mid-day today (monday). All was good though, well, other then the pure excitement from Perrin when they arrived. I had to take a breather outside alone while they played and screamed.... For the better part, Friday was rather uneventful.
Saturday however, was filled with much fun. I got up, played on the net till I had my fill of coffee, then went out to eat where I got the once again steal a lemon!
After that we came back and rode our bikes all over the yard, including the back and front fields. Here is Lakota working her way to the Pond. We parked the bikes by Twocan Tree (it's magickally protected to keep the bikes safe) and made our way around the back side of the pond, then up the side field. I called Hazel (the neighbors) and got permission to make it over into their fields as well. We made it all over our yard and theirs over the next two days, finding high adventure, hiding from Helicopters, and invisible terror-dactyls.
We also found several tracks...
Cletus
Deer
Bigfoot (really?!?)
and random monsters (monster track one, monster track two)
We named several of the places around the yard as well...
Twocan Tree, which is near Twocan Gorge, where cletus stayed at the top... It's over 6 foor deep at one point, and travels down to where Lakota had to cross over the muck and mud.
We made it to the furthest corner of the yard to see where the properties met. We named it "Fourth Corner Tree" which is near Fourth Corner Creek. One of the ways you can get there, is to cross over another brook near Annebelle Pond (which is not the big pond, more like a random large puddle). Once that is crossed you must then climb up a small incline and follow a horse trail which enters the wood along TwistKnob Trail (Twistknob trail marker)
On the other side of the yard, where we spent most of the time, we had to cross over Tweofalls Bridge, which is a neat root that crosses the branch between two small falls.
There were other names and places that we happened across, but those are the only ones with images...
Prickery Trail, which leads to the beginning of the creek which crossed through to the pond. (the direct route to Fourth Corner)
Dead Mans Walk (it's marked by a skeleton & briars) and is the long way to reach the Fourth Corner.
We spent Saturday night in a tent near the fire, but only after we had Vickey & Norm over for some hot dogs & marshmallows.
