August 7, 2016


Proof that Toby isn't the only one howling on trips to the cabin!!
Minx looking miserable
Goodbye to the old sofa
Goodbye to the ugly old chair
Hello to the new sofa and love seat.  The cats approve.
Becky and me on the Switchback Trail during a Friday afternoon MTB ride
Rick and me on the Switchback trail
A little meadow on the Single-track trail
Becky climbing the single-track
Becky walking the Single-track (and probably cursing us!)
Finally at the top of the steep section
Nice meadow at the top of the single-track
New baby deer from the deck
Amy & Vince just prior to the Saturday morning ride--Vince's first MTB ride since the crash in April (note the sunny skies)
3 miles up the trail it started raining big drops with some sleet--note the sunny skies

Taking shelter under a camper awning and freezing (temps dropped from 70s to low 50s very quickly)
Why we had to take shelter--lots of hail, rain and lightning
mist coming up off the ground from all the hail
The bikes were abandoned under the trees when the lightning got too close
Rivers of hail and water running down the forest road
Hail at the cabin--the storm was very large
Riding again on Sunday since Saturday's ride was only 6 miles--weather started better but I had 2 flats
The end of Pumphouse Canyon road
Nice view at the end of Pumphouse Canyon Road looking back toward the cabin area
Rick
Me
Vince, Amy and Rick--the last 3-4 miles were in the rain again!
Amy, me, Rick at the end--soaked again.
It was still pouring when we left--no plant watering this weekend
