Our first Christmas away from home in 35 years, but a nice one. Last night a bunch of volunteers sat by the campfire eating delicious prime rib cooked to perfection. All the other goodies were equally a delight. Sitting by the fire sharing adventures and stories one could not help but be amazed by the diversity of experience a bunch of old travelers can conjure up. People with the urge for wandering and change are always fun to gather with.
A lot of talk centered around lumbering. Jim and Valerie raised their kids deep in the Canadian woods. all the lumber for their home they cut and milled themselves. As a sideline Jim and Valerie have become loggers. Stories of dragging logs out of the woods with a horse stir the imagination.
A lot of people spend their life with their head in a book or just looking out the window. Some people open the door jump through and see the world that is out there. So the sun is working it's way up over the eastern mountains, the coffee just finished brewing, and here we go.
