Spring at camp

[smudge]

It was a gorgeous spring day at camp yesterday. It's not on any Great Lake, so the temp was a balmy (hot!) 66°.  A lot of the snow is gone, but the snowbanks and a lot of snow in the woods is still there.

Of course my trail is good and solid, so it will be one of the last things to melt. (sigh)

I walked my trail, and I have to say I will miss the snow. I think we bonded. I really enjoyed snowshoeing up there this winter. I'll be going up again Tuesday; might be one of my last chances to walk the snow. 

I brought both dirt bikes with me. I rode the skinny on the camp road, but I probably should have ridden the fattie. The road was soft and in some places really wet. I walked through this the first time but tried riding it on the way back. That was a no. 

There is a large, open wet spot/swamp farther down the road. It's usually obviously wet, but yesterday it was a lake!

Good thing for the culvert under the road so the water has some place to go.

It was a really good day. I totally enjoyed the full day of sun and the warm, T-shirt weather. Oh ya! HoSmudge invited me stick around for porterhouse steaks on the grill. He kept an eye on them while I sauteed some mushrooms and made a pasta salad. Yup, a good day!

Jealous. For 20 some years I had access to a good friend’s cabin. Made it there about 8 weekends a year. Awesome memories.
