After not being able to get out this past week because of the dam and powerplant going down for 3 days, some more untimely snow and Bob's rig going down since last Saturday when we first came in. We got things taken care of here so that I could finally attempt to get out to go see Elaine so Friday morning I attempted to leave but was only able to make it about 1.5 miles down the road before turning back. I wasn' t thrilled but figured if it was meant to happen then a way would be provided. Well it came in the form of Eric & Michelle friends that I first met 3 winters ago when Eric came out to the Trinity TH to shoot his pistol. I thought they were shooting at my wolfdog Tiva. Well he was with Michelle this time and they had been playing and were here for a craft show at the Rec Center this past weekend. After some coffee and conversation they decided it was time to head back to get ready for Sat. I decided this would be as good a time as any to go so told them I would follow them out and use their tracks to get past the deep stuff, they had mentioned it was pretty good in so I headed out to see Elaine and arrived there Fri evening. So Thank You from both of us as you helped reunite us after a very difficult week of being apart.
I ended up staying an extra day in E Wenatchee with Elaine and Sun morning I left the house with Chris, Elaine's son and we were going to meet some of his friends to break trail for us. Lance wasn't able to get his sled off the trailer but Chris, Clayton & Billy with me headed in to Trinity trying to cut out the snow to make it easier for Bob's tracked ATV to go out. Not only that but they broke trail all the way up to the dam. We got there to a mess ice everywhere which explained why we had shut down when the temps dropped to 7-9 ovenight for 3 nights. We got it cleared and cleaned the screens. That was such a blessing and will make it so much easier to keep it cleared and maintained and that way I will feel better when I go to see Elaine while she is recovering from a broken ankle. She's got about 5 more weeks in a cast which means she can't get home right now.
Thanks to everyone that has helped us out this past week and especially to get back to see Elaine, that was the most important thing on my list. Eric, Michelle, Chris, Clayton, Billy & Bob I wouldn't have been able to do it without all of your help this past week especially getting out to Elaine and getting to the dam and setteling tank. We'll never forget it. Hope you enjoyed your time here. We found our Paradise, hope you find yours.
