There were three of them just grazing and watching us go by. The third one is behind the trees and not visible. We drove along the road for probably 4 miles and came to a marker that pointed to Pine Mountain on a trail that would be better suited for an ATV. We could see the mountain on the map but the road to get to it was just too risky, and there was no way Josie would want to go down the trail in our Jeep. Bob has been on much worse and is used to traveling these kind of roads on hunting trips but Josie would have no part of it. So we didn't get to see Pine Mountain. It's always fun taking these Forest Service Roads though and you never know what you're going to see. The road came back out onto the main road after traveling about 18 miles. It actually came out pretty close to the Mormon Lake lodge so we went there and got some water. Usually, we take a small cooler full of water but this time we walked out of the rig and left it on the counter in the kitchen. It was a fun trip and the weather was great (86 high, 54 low) all day.
The rest of the afternoon was spent doing laundry back at the lodge. We have a hummingbird feeder attached to the rear window of our fifth wheel and we have been getting a lot of traffic recently. Here is a picture of one of the regulars:
We have had so many visits to the feeder that we have been filling it about once a week. It is interesting watching some of these birds fight over the feeder. They are very territorial and each one defends it likes it belongs to him.
Today is an early day and we will be on duty at 7 AM. There is a huge crowd expected this weekend - a church group - so we will have a packed resort...
