August 30 - Sept 1 Days 10-12

What a beautiful home on a beautiful farm, 150 acres, about half in woods and the other half tillable but in grass that is mowed high so the deer can bed down. There are deer feeding stations in several areas as well as a lake and streams nearby for water. You can see deer most every morning and evening feeding on grass however you do not see many Bucks, mostly Does and Fawns. We took the Gator and toured the farm and woods as there are 4 wheeler trails all over that they have cut for the grand children to ride. You can sit on the screened porch and watch the Cat fish feed in the lake, watch the birds and humming birds feed, just a very peaceful setting to relax and enjoy nature.
And, what a great hostess and host. Jackie loves to cook and had all of the meals mostly prepared and in the freezer, so it only took a short time to get a delicious meal on the table.
John is a big hunter. He has been all over the counry hunting Moose, Elk, Bear, etc. He and his grandson, Drew, went Dove hunting on Labor Day and shot 40 Doves. He was going to Saskatoon, Saskatchawan Goose hunting on the 6th with 3 other fellows and we got word via e-mail that they, shot 400, their limit. They did not bring any home but took them to a local Chineese restaurant who were most happy to get them.
We really hated to leave such a beautiful place and hospitable relatives but we needed to move on toward Arkansas and our next planned stop.
