The Hill -- Oct 2010

Spent last weekend (Oct 9-10) at The Hill celebrating mom and dad's birthdays. The new annual tradition is to help dad get in wood for the winter. Of course, he kicked our asses -- even though it was his 69th B-day. Gabby, Steve, myself and friends Chris D and Arial had a fabulous time getting dirty in the woods with dad while Missy, Griffin, India and mom did cabin-based adventures (pumpkin carving; cooking; Halloween costume making; etc). Damn! life can be so good sometimes.Gab taking a turn on the splitting mal.

Cabling the bigger stuff up the slopes to the road.

Major highlight: Discovering a coastal Pacific Giant Salamander in the forest. What an incredible creature!
