Adventures, Travel and Company

On Thursday, Stephen took me for a ride on their new side by side.  We started off on a road with lots of space.  

He turned down another road which was a little more narrow and then onto a trail.  

The trail was filled with lots of rocks and ups and downs. It was the first time for a longer ride so Stephen was testing its capabilities.  He also got out to test this bridge before we drove over it. 😬

At one point we went down a steep slope and crossed a creek.  

On the other side, we were greeted with an even steeper slope.  The machine responded well and it was a little exciting.  Stephen had a destination and so we continued along the trail that started to close in on us.  

There wasn’t any place to turn around and as the trail seem to get smaller, we were covered with leaves, branches, bugs and even caterpillars.  

If you think I was complaining by now, you are wrong.  It was an adventure and I was with my boy.  We finally came out to an open spot that had a choice of two trails.  Stephen didn’t really want to go back the same way but not knowing where the paths would lead with no cell service, we turned around.  Back through the brush we went, down the slope, across the water and onto a more open trail again.  We stopped to brush ourselves and our seats off and then continued back.  It was quite a ride.

On Friday, we left Kitimat and drove to Prince George.  Along the way, we passed a very distinctive truck with a trailer.

 I had actually seen this set up in the Pincher Creek Campground and had chatted with the owner.  He had told me that they were from Houston and I knew that it was on the way to Kitimat.  Their holidays must have ended and they were on their way back home. It was kind of neat to have crossed paths again.

After staying the night in Prince George, we drove the 10 hours home.  

We were both pretty tired but we unpacked and I made pie crust because we were having company the next day.

Dustin and Katie came for supper on Sunday.  Dustin is our nephew and we love spending time with his family.  After a roast beef dinner and apple pie, it was pool time.  Katie and I teamed up against Dustin and Ron.  We won the best two out of three but then the guys wanted to do the best of seven and when they accomplished a win, our cues were put away.

Today, Ron met Dustin and played a game of golf while I worked to try and make the house closer to list….still waiting for the rcmp to contact us about that.
