Sore and tired, we decided to sleep in, you know, until
6:00. Once awake, seeing the beautiful blue sky (do I really get to come back
home to this?!), we decided it was no use to rest, so we headed up to the ranch
to work on a few things At least we thought that it was going to be a few
things. Wood needed to be stacked, mousetraps set and some beaver dams taken
apart. The bridge that my dad and I built two summers ago was almost under water. The beaver dams needed to go, nuff said.
We set off taking out sticks and quickly realized that this
dam was much more serious than the one we took down the summer before. There
were rocks, mud and twigs going every which way and the only thing we could do
was keep digging and pulling.
And digging. And digging. We finally opened a flow and lowered the creek. With my knee and back aching and my dad’s back
injury, there was nothing left to do at the cabin but play a few rounds of ping pong
and darts. I lost both. Hmph…
