Tree hunting

It's that time of year again when we pile in the truck, spend the $8 on a tree permit, and head out in search of the perfect tree. This year we went to the Crandall area. It is where Ben has been working for a while. After parking and getting out twice, we decided to head off the beaten path. We drove quite a way up into the mountain before seeing some trees off to our right. Instead of staying on the "road", Ben just heads that direction. There were some big dips in the road that you couldn't see because of the snow. Well we definitely felt them! Everyone came out of their seats and then we were cracking up. It is always an adventure when we decide to find our tree. Ben was a good sport this year. I am only slightly picky when it comes to the tree. He will probably tell it differently!
