The Cabin   This day's adventure was a trip to "The Cabin", one of my favourite places to be and of some family historical significance. Stopped at  Apex , an old mining town on the way up the hill. (it is believed these miners survived on a diet consisting mainly of Hooterville Rutabagas ) Still looking good! I have decided to put in a couple of thens and nows. The swing circa 1970ish: Pat, Barb, Michelle, Kristine (Me), Danny The swing now! Barb Boris Jax Kaiya Tory Michelle including of course a re-enactment (somewhat accurate), of the Great Swing Incident, of 19?? ! Is that a tree??? No somebody stop me! Slam!!! and Out!! The Old Pump back then Barb, Kristine, Pat, Michelle and now Some inside pics: first one from then of the stove (some of the best pancakes of my life were cooked here) and now The girls strike the NCIS pose But of course the Angels had to show them how it was done! Up above the cabin the view with the 4-5-6 club! Back to Centr...

Denver: It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't like to be shot down over it!

After a brief respite and shower after camping, it was off to the Schrader Estate for a BBQ to eat, drink, and reminisce with various and sundry Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins, not seen for many a long year. Nothing starts the preparation of a good feed like Karl rubbing the meat.  Green chile of varying degrees of heat, Margaritas all round......                  aahhh!!! 14 hours on the smoker (correct me if I'm wrong here Karly G), Then a good shredding by Mad woman B and help from Donger Relaxing in style after  a hard day over a hot stove: The Boys ready for a good night and the people: Mom and her brother My Uncle Jimmy e: Greg thinking he could take Jimmy on: and then on to someone more his pace:  he still lost... Mom and Dennis Dad and Sue Catching up HAAH! Great night, not as many pics as would have liked but they are in our minds.
