Wood cutting adventure

We were on the road again. We left Sunday after church and went to Panaca. Mike and I drove in separate cars. He took his mom's truck back and left it there. I was so sleepy driving down. I knew that was NOT a good way to be starting a busy few days.

I rested good Sunday night and Monday morning Mike and I went out and got a load of wood. It was a nice day. We only filled one truck this time. It really wasn't too bad. Then we drove home. It was an hour or hour and a half before dark and the deer were moving down to the hay fields. There was lots of them. Mike commented that if you came back in an hour, there would be lots more. (Remember that comment). We got home and I took our left over lunch in to the fridge and went back out to help unload the truck. I was tired and wanted to hurry and get it unloaded; get something to eat; and get cleaned up so I could sprawl out somewhere and relax. When I got out there, Mike said to me, "I think I lost the chain saw." (How can you think you lost the saw)? Anyway he asked me to take the car and go back out and see if I can find the saw. Mike's mom and I went for a ride on gravel roads, and more gravel roads and some pavement. No saw. But when we got to the fields with the deer, there were probably 100 times more deer now. There was hundreds of them!! I back tracked about 35 miles and turned around when I got on a very rough, dirt road. I knew we would not see that saw again. I was less than 5 miles from where we got the load of wood. Just to give you a little prospective. It took us an hour to drive from home to where we got the wood. So I had ridden home from getting the wood (1 hr). Then turned around and drove back out there and home again. (2 more hours). The good news was that I didn't have to help unload the truck. Mike had it all done by the time we got back. We ate and Mike took the truck and went out looking for the saw. Shock of all shock; he called and said that he found the saw. It was 2-3 miles further up the dirt road from where I turned around. Mike was very happy. We all slept good that night.
