    Since my work schedule is so crazy and don't have any down time we took a weekend to get away. Left Friday morning and headed to the mountains of PA. I think we're pretty close to Scotty. Love the place, middle of the woods and no phone service! Perfect place to unwind. I brought a saw to cut up some dead standing pine so we can have a fire. The sound of the creek is soothing and relaxing. I put the beer in the creek to keep it cold.

    Love it. There is a lot to be said for being where there is no phone, a comfy spot and a nice campfire. Hope you have a good time and some sun. Don't let the skeeters carry you off!

    I can see the local headlines Monday morning... "Fire hoarder cuts down hundreds of trees on cabin site"
    Perpetrator in custody, later quoted as saying "I just wanted a bigger campfire" then mumbled something about a
    dam@$ website was to blame... :rofl: :lol:

    Glad you're getting some time off.
    Creek noise is good, isn't it. :)
    My inlaws/outlaws and guests always love to visit here, 'cause my creek is year-round and the noise is soothing. Bonfire on the back deck with the creek and the neighbors spillways from their ponds flowing, adding to the background noise-- aahhh, relaxing stuff.

    edit- Lay off the " Jack-links" jerky! That first pic. looks like you're messin' wid Sasquatch!:D

    More pics, the view from the lookout is amazing! And we had an awesome time at the cabin. Great time to unwind. I cut up a standing dead oak and it actually burned pretty good. Of course I cut and split way more than we needed but I was having fun with it. We had a fire in the cabin as it was chilly in the morning, it's a Quadra Fire LP stove but was a nice touch. And listened to a few records on the record player. I love these layed back getaways. We also found a sow bear with three cubs up in a tree eating wild cherries. Got to show the girls a bear up close. They loved it!

    Looks like a great time there. I really need to get up to my camp too. It is so great to kick back out of cell phone range. Have a beer or three. Make a fire. Cut down a balsam or spruce just to get some brush to turn the camp fire into a big smokey brush fire. Do some shooting. Go fishing. Go swimming. Go for a walk and see what animals you can come across. Just relax.

    Nice Swags! Looks like the old 026 got a good workout!
