Mancation Report
The Cabin
Well the mancation went quite well. Now most people might think that it was a boring weekend of card playing and drinking, but for me it was therapy. It’s the perfect respit from everyday life.
We spent a long weekend at my friend’s hunting cabin in the mountains west of Williamsport, PA . A very secluded area.
I left on Thursday to pick up my long-time friend Donn in Harrisburg, PA. He came from Phily and we met there. From there he hopped into my Jeep and we were off. We arrived at the cabin early and didn't have keys. The temperature was between 1 and 3 degrees, so we decided to build a fire in the pit until the others came with the keys.
We finally got in the cabin and fired up the wood burning stove. We hooked up the keg to the beermeister, and got all set up for 3 days of card playing and alcohol drinking.
Wild Turkey and Dead Man's Hand
We played cards for hours at a time. Friday my friend Joe flew in from Wisconsin and everyone was present. We played more cards, drank lots of Wild Turkey 101, and ate like kings.
On Saturday we went into “town” to the one bar in town and drank tons and played pool and had some entertainment from the locals. Donn even convinced one of the local gals that my friend dan was Hugh Grant. He actually had her going. She went on about Bridget Jones Diary. But it was a laugh.
Nice Racks! Me and Joe Toast. You can see my friend Dan in the back who looks like Hugh Grant and the woman on the left who believed it!
Back to the cabin for more cards and that's pretty much all we did. We did manage to go on 2 decent hikes. Only about 2-3 miles each but keep in mind, it was 1 degree!! We also hung out around the outdoor firepit a few times.
