The Mother Lode

This weekend turned out to be the opportune time to get the ole property ready for winter. Yeah, its only October but up in those parts you never know when its actually going to be impossible to make it up the mountain. I didn't get quite as far on things as I expected or would have liked but I guess there really is no hurry. Half of the fun is in the process.
I got a great deal on microlams a couple months ago. They have been conveniently stored in my father's garage but keeping them there throughout the winter wasn't really an option so this trip we took them all up. We set up the beams for the floor and stacked and covered the remaining beams for the winter. Much easier work than digging and filling holes...a lot more gratifying too as the actual structure is beginning to emerge....kind of.
The Rockies have had quite a run the past couple months. Game 3 against the Phillies was on Saturday night and there was one potential option for watching the game.
The Mother Lode in Ohio City is a little place off of country road 76 consisting of a general store, liquor store, restaurant and bar....oh and an RV park. The place was great. Greg, the manager, was a nice man and kept the place open and the wood stove burning for us till the end of the tense game. The Rockies were victorious sweeping the Phillies out of Colorado and out of contention for the World Series. If you are ever in the area, stop by the place and check it out.
