Snow Trip, Day 3 - Bugging Out

We woke up around 8am and Matt got the generator going in the basement again. We figured out how to work the oven and Shannon made cinnamon rolls, sausage, and eggs for breakfast. While Matt and Papa went to the truck to bring back some gas, the kids played in the snow some more...



Brandon, Emily, and Shannon climbed to the rooftop to check things out.

Shannon made a couple of snow lanterns. She planned to light them up at night with some candles.



This is a creek that runs over the road near the cabins. We had to be careful when crossing because it is only a snow bridge.


And here the kids are playing UNO while warming up from a good play in the snow.



Plans quickly changed when they returned with the gas. Papa said there was a storm coming and we had to get out now.

So we bugged out! No time for lunch, just pack and go. We left a lot of our gear and food at the cabin. We came out with less than we went in! Matt took 2 kids on his machine, Papa had 2 kids on his machine and towing the snow sled.... Oh, and then Matt had to tow Papa's machine with everyone and the snow sled! It was crazy getting out.



They rescued the Jag, but it was still not in good condition. Papa went back to the cabin to get Shannon. They closed up the cabin and boogied on out. We left around 7pm and got home a little after midnight. It was a rough memorable trip with lots of stories to tell! We are glad to be home!
