Deer Hunting

Last weekend we went on the deer hunt for 5 days. While it was a lot of fun, it was also VERY cold. We got wind, rain, hail, and snow. Not my type of camping, but we had fun anyway. We went to an area west of Delta in the middle of nowhere. It was such a fun and unique place to camp and had tons of ATV trails. We will definitely be going back there camping.
Oh, and Brett got a deer, but it was a small one. We didn't see many bucks, but we were glad to have some meat for the winter :)
Us before the storms started coming in... cold, but tolerable.




View from our campsite looking up to some very unique rocks. Apparently people from all over come and rock climb here







It was fun to see some leaves before they all fall off. It was so pretty.




There was a lot of mining in this area, and there are a ton of old mines/buildings everywhere. It was fun to do some exploring.

Our trailer during the hail storm, it was crazy- of course we were taking cover

Good thing I brought 2 pair of gloves





Brett showing off his master cooking skills


When we got our trailer 2 yrs ago Brett was just SURE we needed a new TV for it. Well about 1.5 yrs ago we bought one...... and have never used it until this trip..... because of the crappy weather. It was very nice to get the heater going, take a nice hot shower, and watch a movie before bed. Good thing the TV works

At an old abandoned building





The frost and snow stuck to the trees and it was so pretty with the sun hitting them.... but also very cold

Just thought I would throw a picture of our little Brian on our way camping- he loves to go camping!
Last week was really sad because Brett's family had to put down B's mom because of health concerns. JJ was part of the family and we will really miss her.


A few weeks ago we FINALLY got internet at our house. Yep that's right we finally joined the technology revolution and it has been nice. No phone yet, maybe some time. Truth is we sorta like not having to talk much on the phone while we are home.

Umm you need a home phone so people like me can call you when I need to talk to you and not have to try and remeber for the following day what I needed to talk to you about and that I need to call you altogether.
