Mt. Graham

 End of August we decided to go up to see the cabin.  Some cousins of mine put in a loft above the bedroom in the cabin so we had to go and check it out.  Well Denver and I hadn't seen it yet.  We stopped by KFC and grabbed a bucket of chicken as a tradition of the Platt Family since my Dad was a little boy.  We drove up the windy road up to Turkey Flat to the cabin.  Its really cool to think these cabins are 100 years old!  I have so many great childhood memories growing up here during the summertime.  We loved going down to Cow Canyon and playing in the tunnel which was a little scary!  I also remember eating chicken noodle soup and all of us cousins would pass around the salt and pepper a thousand times adding a little bit everytime it came around.  I also remember my Dad always telling us scary bear stories and being scared they were going to break into the cabin during the night.  Us cousins always had fun building forts, playing cards (Nurtz was the favorite game), making crowns out of wild flowers and sticky weed, playing knife games with the old man next door, swinging in the huge tractor swing, sliding down slide rock, and chocolate fudge when Grandma B would come visit.

We sure enjoyed the cooler weather and spent the afternoon reminiscing!
