Feb. 20, 2008 - cabin trip

Here is Mountain Breeze near Ponca and the Buffalo River. 
We had a really good weekend.  My in-laws and my folks came.
My brother-in-law and his wife were going to come, but she got sick.
It rained a lot and was foggy all day on Saturday.
My dad and my husband and myself went out for a little hike (yes, in a little light rain/mist).  We started out following a horse trail.  Well, horses must not mind going over streams because the trail went right through the stream that was high b/c of the rain.  My dad and husband thought it would be a good idea to go up and around the river and meet back up with the trail.  Well, we climbed up and around a bluff looking down into the Buffalo River.  We "bushwacked" through the woods following some faint deer (or perhaps elk) trail.  I ripped my pants on the brush and brambles.  I was cold and wet.  I was very worried.  I asked to stop and pray.  We did and then not too long after that, we found the horse trail that led out to the place where we were going to meet my father-in-law and get back to the cabin.  We beat him by about 2 minutes.  It was scary and fun all at the same time.  Both my dad and husband thought it great fun and they said they were never worried.  I wonder if they only wished I hadn't come to discourage the great adventuresome spirit they owned.  I now think I wish I were more trusting, but into my mind came thoughts of search and rescue crews searching all night in the rain looking for us.
Well, all's well that ends well, I suppose.
