Ok this is it...Probably. It's probably the last visit to the cabin till Spring. Each Fall we have to shut things up to protect the pipes from freezing. It's an emotional time because at the moment it seems like an ETERNITY before our return in March-April to open up. Turn around thrice and it's June.
All the same, we HATE (I HATE) 'closing up'.
But right now (I'm calming down and breathing deeply)... right now it's just been nice to be here for 4-5 days. Nobody's in Tract C but us, or so it seems. Things quiet down to the max. Even the Kokanee Cafe is closed, and the Camp Sherman Store is keeping 'Winter Hours'... Friday-Sat-Sunday only.
But the river basin is beautiful and we are glad to have each other, Julie and I, to share it with...to smile and exclaim "Ain't it wonderful?... the sunlite, the colors almost blinding!". Yeah...it's nice.
The pine needles are off the roof(s), hoses put away and a few things remain to be done, but all at a leisurely pace. Is there any OTHER pace on the Metolius?
