Labor Day at Crevice Mountain

On Labor Day, our friend Cheryl hired us to split wood at her lodge on Crevice Mountain. The road to get up there is a one lane dirt road and it is very steep with a lot of turns. But once you get up to Crevice, it is really pretty.


It doesn't look steep, but when you are driving up this road, it is kind of scary...



This is the mine right before you get to her Lodge.


Cheryl's main Lodge.  Three winter's ago, a grizzly bear broke into her Lodge and wrecked her kitchen.  The grizzly was trying to look for food--it even turned on her oven!


All the boys cutting wood.




The chainsaw is very loud!


Dad helped build Cheryl's chapel three summer's ago.


Uncle Paul and Bennett.

Inside Cheryl's Lodge.


The Living Room.


I liked this cool chandelier made out of an old wagon wheel.


The Dining Room.


(If you click on this picture, it will make it bigger and you can read it better. It's funny!)


This is where the big grizzly bear broke through the window.


Cheryl made us a big spaghetti lunch!


She also let us swim in her hot tub.


I thought this was funny....they had to put up barbed wire on their bedroom and bathroom windows, to prevent the bears from breaking in again!


George the dog and me.

She let us roast marshmallows around her campfire.


Matilda drove us down the mountain...:)
