Cable Cove

When Tom was little his Dad owned the mining rights to a mine up here and they use to come up for a week or two every year to camp out and mine. A couple years ago he got in contact with the super nice couple that now owns the land and they invited us out to come camping. It was so much fun to spend a few days with the family and be out in the wilderness!

There is now a really nice cabin there, with running water from a nearby spring. There was even a tankless hot water heater, so we felt pretty spoiled! (although no toilet, but a very nice outhouse!) There were 2 beds in the cabin upstairs, so Carly & Shem's family took one room and Dylan & I got the other while Tom & Glenda slept on mattresses on the living room floor.


Hendrix LOVES hiking. Even though we weren't quite ready to go
yet he just wanted to hang out in the hiking pack.

That's the cabin we stayed in. It's quite incredible that we can
be in the middle of the wilderness staying in a place like this.



The sign reads "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Tom's Dad put up that
sign for him when he was a kid.

This hillside kept eroding and sliding so Grandpa Isaacson
built this retaining wall. It's still in incredible shape today!

The boys wanted to hike to Crown Point so I carried Hendrix back
to the cabin. It was sweet to feel his hands on my shoulders and him
singing in my ear! I'm glad the hike wasn't too long though....carrying
a baby on my back and a baby in my belly is hard work!

We didn't want Atticus to go to the point because we weren't sure if they
would have to scale any rock walls or anything to get there. He had a really
really hard time watching his Dad walk away without him.







Hendrix LOVED climbing on all the rocks. He would go out of his way to walk over them. Then
even started to climb up the tall rocks! He would get up to me, then turn around and slide
back down to Dylan on his bum. It was pretty adorable.

Atticus is part Mountain Goat.






On the very tippy top of Crown Point!
