No power, badgers and (potential) grizzlies, oh my!
The other day Mike was speaking — he blabs a lot — and I was hearing blah, blah, blah until I suddenly heard the words “cabin,” “mountains” and “vacation.” The next instant I was in! I like to go on vacation!
Soon Mike was packing the stuff, along with my stuff like dog bed, treats, food, blankets and more treats. Soon, I was also packed into the truck and we headed out. A after a long drive, we were in the remote mountains and at a log cabin. It had no power, so I was going to be really roughing it. I was wondering if I would have to watch TV in the dark, har har!
Since it was a log cabin I was also uncertain if I should wear a lumber jack hat or search about the cabin for squirrels. This cabin had a loft, but unfortunately I could not climb the ladder to go up and assess the sitution. So Mike pulled a bed down and I slept on that each night.
The cabin life included fishing, star gazing, watching for grizzlies (state game department reports those are lurking behind every bush) and moose, plus meeting my first badger face-to-face. Ok, that large mustelid was not friendly, so we quickly parted ways after both of us got in some snarling and growling. Well, it was Mike pulling on my collar that quickly ended this impromptu badger meeting. I stood my ground, the badger spun around and ran for a tunnel — never to be seen again. I could have been the first dog in history with a self-acquired badger fur coat, har har!
On my cabin vacation I also enjoyed sleeping in late, seeing nothing and no one, hiking up and down creeks and relaxing. In fact, I slept in until around 7am a few days. I needed a rest from all the hectic fly fishing each day. The vacation ended too soon and Mike was speaking about loading the truck (blah, blah, blah) and soon I was ordered to load up or I would be left behind to live with the grizzlies. Those type of threats are why I have a lawyer, har har! Until next time, stay cool, and beware of badgers and bears! —Cameron
