Nobody knows why they make the trek. Is it a need for adventure or just some deep seeded call to watch videos on what is otherwise a do-nothing, and I mean nothing day? When the Miller's arrived in Michigan, we were kind enough to bring a month of much higher than average temps. Now we are blessed enough to be experiencing the lowest temps in ten years. As you can see the Millers have just finished plumping up for the long winters trek.
And now it is time to set out for our destination. The winds of Thor are indeed blowing cold today. As we set out confusion sets in and part of our herd is deciding weather (Yes another one for JR)
to go on. Finally, the deep seeded need for a video is overtaken by the oldest pup's will of survival. She heads back alone. Now, it's all up to the Dad and Son. Cutting through the worst
thing that Old Man Winter could throw at them, they went on. Soon the destination was in sight. Barely. The Men went in and found the sustenance that would get them through the long, dark winter of the soul. The young Cub proudly shows off his kill.
Now, the journey home. After minutes of no food, and very chilly wind, our team cuts through the remaining ice fields. And look up in the distance, the ordeal is almost over. I am happy to announce that not only do the Men make it home with enough eye food to make it through to the Super Bowl, but the pup that gave up earlier did indeed make it to safety. After busting down the last icy barricade, we make it to the warmth of our den. The Old one sits in his lazyboy giving thanks to the Lord for our safe return, when he catches a glimpse of the bravest and toughest animal in the wild. Yes, neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor gloom of night shall keep the postman from his appointed rounds (The upper right hand of the photo is all the glimpse I am able to share here). But it was truly a spiritual moment to see this magnificent mammal in the wild. Well, we're gonna watch some movies now. Lots of love from RJ (The Elder), Karena (The Scholar), Anna (The Smart One), and Daniel
(The Faithful) Lord Bless and keep you warm! (Oh yeah, He already is! I hear it's gonna be a whopping 50+ in Reno-land for Super Sunday) Shouldn't Easter really be SUPER SUNDAY?<><
