...across the
Stubble fields for Fort a la Corne.
|
We cross over Bisset Creek and...

 |

...wait for everyone to reappear out
of the trees. |

11:32AM Looking for a few more riders...loosing count how many? |

There we are.
We wait for everyone to cross Bisset Creek, and we put the wood
to 'er, I am humming
"RUNNIN' DOWN A DREAM!" |

Back on the Hunt for the Whitefox!
-the old farm yard just off the river.
-and this end of the "Lost Highway" from 2010. |

...This is a way to cool! The
Whitefox
border is
fun, but be careful there are all kinds of ravines and drainage
ditches draining the nearby fields to the low lands. |

The snow is just flying along the Fort a la Corne. |
We are following the rivers contours closely,
every nook n cranny. |

Powder next to the forest spraying up! |

Everyone accounted for! |

12:02PM Talk about a nice picture, the sun rising
in the SE and the Fort a la Corne Forest behind us!

We find it, this is the yard site we pulled into off the river
in
2010
. |

This building is still standing. |

It had been a goal of mine for many years to rediscover this old
pioneer yard site on the edge of the Whitefox River. |

This side of the barn looks OK but the
roof is caving in. |

Right behind the barn is the Whitefox River. |

I do not remember it being so close, there are
sled tracks down there, maybe a little early in the day to get
trapped down on the ice! |

Hey the accommodations gets a thumbs up... we
will have to register with Trip Advisor to let them know how
good it is!
M_ _ _ o are you checking Trip Advisor LOL!! |

Talk about a nice sunny day out of the wind, next to Pioneer
homesteads that were the homes of our earliest settlers. |
A little
Ski-Doo...

...talk maybe? Yellow Fellows? |

Everyone is enjoying
exceptional snow and weather conditions. |

3 x 700 = FUN!OK,
don't believe me? ...watch the video's! |

Getting food into the
cooker. |

The hoods are going up and we are loading the ovens for lunch. |

Many of us have our hoods up and we put food in our cookers old
|

We follow the Whitefox River for a number of
miles...

The boys are get'n a little
Racy here! |

On our way back we check out a
local lunch counter for patrons! |

It looks to me like the locals
made tracks when they heard us coming! |

Nobody around but with the Whitefox in the background, the
locals have likely gone for a swim! |
...and then for second time in as
many days
 |
HERE I AM AGAIN!

"LEARNING
TO FLY!" |
 |

...and after we pull our arms off the bars for a few minutes of
RE flection!!

Then after watching our videos on the big screen I see
this...this group of trees in the middle of a field,
|
...it will turn out to be
the marker for the pioneer grave (s) site that we are looking for.
 |
Nothing like a little scoot
Formula One
style down the Whitefox to get the food cooking!

We cut across a few fields when we see and
acreage owner plowing snow. |
We stop and ask about the
cemetery that we had been looking for. The acreage owner is not
familiar with a cemetery around here. |
We leave the acreage and within the hour we stop and try our
chow in another old farm yard.

This house is buckling up from underneath and caving in from the
top.

Debris inside. |

This building is old but has been saved by a modern steel roof.
