A cabin in the Big Horn Mountains

The cabin in a place cut off from the world and more specifically electronics.   It’s a place to be together and not have to contend with so many other things.   In fact, the boys get so BORED they all go out and chop wood.

They gather around a pile of wood.   Axes cracking and a heated competition going on.     Who can split the most logs, who hits it the hardest.     Isn’t everything a competition when it comes to boys?    I watch Gabe as he shows the younger boys a better technique.   I watch my boys become men.

I think one of our favorite things is watching all the wildlife.   We see elk, moose, and deer.   This past weekend there was about 30 head of elk that were in the meadow up from the cabin.    The boys sat on the front porch with a spotting scope and watched them all.   The babies were really little.   Newborns, I think.   So tiny with spots.

We also saw quite a few moose.    Big, brown moose.

Boys got up early on Saturday morning and hiked up to Trigger lake.   A high mountain lake where the you can see the fish in the glassy water.   A remote place with no people.    It was a beautiful morning for fishing.

And they thankfully brought home breakfast.
