August 11-15 on the Teklanika

It was great to be able to spend four nights on the river…..it really lets you relax and get into “cabin mode”.

Friday was beautiful, but the rest of the weekend was rainy off and on. Luckily it quit every evening so we enjoyed some nice big bonfires.




We all did some target practice with the clay pigeon launcher we picked up at a garage sale earlier this summer….that was lots of fun! The kids are getting better with the .410, Mike and I stuck to the 20 gauge.




The cranberry patch looks great, we’ll start picking those after the first frost.


Now that the nights are getting dark the owls seemed to be much more active this trip, we heard them calling a couple nights (Piper and I went looking for them, but no luck) and Mike was lucky enough to see a Great Gray Owl carrying a hare (still twitching!) through the woods! He said it was laboring along and then it landed on a tree right by him….how cool is that??

We got a little visiting time in with some river neighbors too….we would have done a bit more but the rain chased us back to our own cabin.
