Just a Few Reasons to Visit Clydehurst

In no particular order...

1. You can watch the sun rise over the mountain (and watch the mountain shadow slowly disappear).

2. Crazy weather.  Hail.  Echoing thunder, loud enough to be a mountain crumbling into dust.  Rain.  Sometimes even sunny, warm, perfect days.

 3. Caves.  And mines.  Of varying significance and safety levels.  

4. Psycho cats.   

"Don't even think about it."

5. Beautiful meadows.

6.  Anyone heard of "A River Runs Through It?"  Yeah, that was (partially) filmed here.  Fly-fishing galore.

7.  Four-wheeling.  Long, dusty roads.  Lots to explore.

 8.  Wildlife to watch...

9. ...and to chase down the road.

10.  Spectacular volleyball games nightly.  Participate or watch, as you choose.

11. The Lawn Mower.  In the rain.  Enough said.

 12. Visits from the refrigerator repair man.  (Yeah, this is a lot more fun when I'm not the cook, worrying about how much food will thaw out.)

13.  Crazy people dressed in weird clothing, popping popcorn on the back lawn. 

14. Dunk tank.  Still operational in 40 degree weather.  Did I mention the crazy people??

15.  You can throw hatchets.  At logs.  And make them stick.  Brilliant.

16. Hunger Hut!  Yay for candy and soft-serve and popcorn and jerky and...all sorts of goodness. 

17.  You can shoot things.

(Yes, that bullet casing has been shot.)

 18.  Tree phones.

19. Gators!

20.  Wild strawberries, raspberries, huckleberries, chokecherries, and gooseberries (pictured), seasonally available.

21.  Fire!  (Fortunately contained.  Forest fires are much less fun.)

22.  Lots of raw beef.

(We likes it raw and wriggling!)

 23.  Nice people who cook said beef for you.

24. Weekly hayride with cute kids!

25. Spectacular skies.

26.  And my personal favorite: cool people, often with matching shirts, to hang out with.  

Clydehurst, I love you!
