Woke up early and read a kids book for a while as coffee was brewing. Karl had to leave for work and the rest of the cabin came to life.
In contrast to the previous days, the sky was clear and there was an absolutely stunning sunrise, casting shadows over Dead Man Mountain. Breakfast consisted of yeast raised waffles and eggs as the entire group visited some more.
After breakfast, I took Jon and Joe up to the end of the ATV trail on Dead Man Mountain. The trail used to go farther, but it now stops two miles form the main (dirt) road. Once at the trail head we hiked up the mountain to the top of the first crest (or knoll or whatever it is called). This took quite a while and the elevation change was significant. From this vantage, it was possible to look miles away and make out the cabin.
The other views from Dead Man Mountain where also stunning in the bright morning sunlight casting shadows across the few clouds.
We made it back to the cabin in one piece as the group was starting to disband to go separate ways. We stayed at the cabin a few more hours, playing games and eating lunch. Then it was time finish cleaning, packing and head back to the house. The cabin is a perfect place to relax and catch-up for a few days after 4000 miles on the bike. We are ready for the next few legs on 2-wheels.
Once back at the house, we unpacked and did a few chores. Dinner and a movie with the boys rounded out the night.
