Sep 14 was cold and calm, 34F, with frost covering everything outside. Saw two deer early and Linda later saw a ferret near the storage sheds by our cabin. We had rain and some sun off and on all day, battery charging from the solar panels was much slower than usual. Sep 15 was our planned departure day. We had no idea a cold front was coming through with lots of snow until we woke up at 6:00 AM and saw these winter scenes:

We were concerned about the car slipping on the steep section after the gate. Fortunately the temp was 34F and after checking out the road we knew there was no ice. Shortly after the snow stopped at mid morning, the port a can gentleman came by on his Friday rounds and told us the road was fine. After that we quickly left and made it back home by the following evening.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property and enjoyed meeting many friendly and generous members and guests. Hopefully we will see you again next year. Thanks for letting us be your caretakers.
