Nezperce Vacation

At the end of October, Justin, Wes & I decided to make a quick trip to Nezperce. We hadn't been back up there since we moved and were missing it. Justin and Wes went mainly to go hunting, and I went just to visit. We left early (4 a.m.) Friday morning and got there just around noon. We stayed with the Grobey's, who came to be our very good friends and neighbors while we were there. We had lunch and then Justin and Wes went hunting. They saw a bear across the canyon & were hoping it would be there the next day, since they needed to go to Orofino to get a bear tag.

Saturday morning, they went down to Orofino first thing. They came back and I kept waiting for them to come back. We waited and waited. Eventually, Justin called me and told me he got a bear. We were all so excited and just kept waiting for them to get back and show the bear to us. After waiting for 2 hours, I finally went down the road to our other friend and they were working on some of his horses. They finally showed up and we were all very excited. It's not a very big bear, but hey, nobody else has a bear! Right now, the bear is getting made into a rug. We are hoping it is done this week. We had a bon-fire that night. It was so beautiful and so fun to be outside and enjoy each others company.

Sunday, they got up and went out to try and find a deer. They didn't have any luck so they just came back and we played games and visited. We ate lots of good food and had a lot of good laughs. We left early Monday morning so Wes could be back in time to take his kids trick-or-treating. We had a few stops on the way home (getting pulled over!) so it took us a little bit longer to get home then we expected.

It was such a good trip and we hope to go back in the spring. We really miss it up there and sometimes wonder why we moved.
