New Transplant to Trinity Gang

I want to introduce everyone to Lovely Lillie the latest transplant to Trinity, by way of Gibbs Farm. Peace and Bear have known Lillie since they were little because everytime we go to town that is our home away from home and we are very grateful for having a place to stay where they can run and they know the farm as well as they do Trinity. Since the farm raise chickens for eggs it is part of their income and Lillie discovered she liked eggs not the chickens just the eggs and so instead of her ending up in not so good a place and because she already fit it with the kids I agreed to bring her out here and after some delays Danielle brought her to the snowpark to meet me 3 weeks ago and everything was fine put her in the hauler and thought she was in it but when I got to Trinity to let her out surprise there was no Lillie. I turned around and rode back out to Chikamin Creek but never saw any tracks but the snow was frozen solid couldn't even see my snowmobile tracks and running low on gas turned around and sent a few emails to friends at the other end of the road and close to Fish Lake to be on the lookout for her. I've been in and out a few times and never saw here and had heard nothing about her but knew she was OK. Last Wednesday Ivan & Don snowmobiled out here and we played for a few hours riding around areas that hadn't been touched by anyone but me and the dogs it was a blast. They left around 5 that afternoon and not long after they left I got an email with a couple of photos and there was Lillie looking tired and hungry but safe. She showed up at Dave &Suzanne Neir's place on Fish Lake and they took great care of her until I could get out Fri to get her. Planned to do it Thur but after the riding we did I was very sore and could hardly raise my arm's but it was so much fun. Friday after our morning visit from Rob, Mike &Jon I went out to get her. She is fitting in well and stays close to me right now but everyday she's exploring more and staying with Peace & Bear, they have become a good hunting team and love chasing squirrels and birds.

A Real Workout




> This last Friday we had a visit from 3 guys that skied up here from Fish Lake Sno-park. they made it in a little over 3 hours and would have been faster but they had to let the groomer get ahead of them since they followed him all the way out. Rob from Plain Hardware fame, Mike from North Rd, and Jon from the other side, he's a part-timer. By the time they got here they were looking good but need to dry out a bit, drank some coffee talked a little about Trinity and what I know of the place and they got to watch Bear & Peace do what they do best play and do what they can to get attention from all of them. Gizmo even got in the game with nuzzling up to Rob. This is the first time since I've lived here that anyone has skied to Trinity and visited before returning. The stayed for a little over an hour and then I let them have a head start since I was heading out to my truck, and didn't want to make tracks they would have to cross or deal with. That is a great workout since roundtrip is a little under 45 miles and it isn't something I could do on skis anymore but love it on a snowmobile especially when it is freshly groomed. It's always nice to show friends where Paradise is.
