Upgrades

Over the years the people that visit me have done amazing projects. Although I was never self concience about by appearance, I do have to admit that the upgrades have been very nice.

I used to have an irregular sized top as you can see. However after last year's cosmetic reconstructive upgrade I now have a more robust and uniform shape.

My appearance has also been enhanced by smoothing out uneven countours in my front yard. 8 yards of fill was used to make me look by best.

I even received an enlarged fire pit!! This expanded area will allow me to load additional wood in and produce more flame and heat.

A new rack was also installed out the back to hold all of the tubes my friends will use over the summer. This is just a small portion of the upgrades I have received. I am very greatful to everyone who gets to enjoy me and is able to give a little something back!! Ruski

Big Jim

Our camp 4 wheeler - Big Jim. A 1987 full size V8 with lift kit - helps us get around the forest. He doesn't quite look as nice as this now, but as Wade says he is sure enjoying his retirement years serving us at the cabin.
Always more fun with the top off! Flan-Man

2008 Deer Camp

With the nights now getting cooler, it brings to mind a time of year that I so enjoy, the fall hunting season. Any man, or woman, who loves to hunt gets that urge to grab a weapon and go for a walk; weather that be on the prairie for pheasant, or the woods for grouse, deer, or bear. We are lucky to live in a place where game is plentiful, and our freedoms allow us to enjoy this most natural of all the sports. One of which is more than a sport for our crew, we feast on the bountiful harvest all year long, making brat's, hamburger, and steaks of what we harvest. Soon we'll have more memories, here a few good pictures from 2009 - Josh's doe harvested near the south fork.
It was a great day for a walk, with some fresh flurries and new country - one which I am sure we will be back to explore again! Flan-Man
