Camp Ondessonk!! 💕❄️🥾

Can you imagine camping under this waterfall?

Snowy waterfalls at Burden Falls Wilderness.

Burden falls is a great waterfall stop for so many reason. Want to see a waterfall from the parking lot? Then this one is for you. Not able to do long hikes, then the upper falls will be a quick stop to add to your list. Looking for a little more challenge, then hike on down to see the lower falls (no pictures of the lower falls in this post).

Little cow zoomies . . .

Just checking in on them

These two are doing great. Eric was making sure baby was nursing good and then did a little milking. Brisket won't latch on her back t***s just the front. We were hoping to do calf sharing so it might work out.

We have our very first baby born here at Rustic Ridge. Miniature Zebu bull calf, 25 lbs. Momma was hungry afterwards so we warmed him up.

We installed some new "cow panel" deck spindles yesterday. Another project off the list ✔️ Watch the video with volume ⬆️ what could make all that noise? That's the cicada invasion! From what I read they will be gone in about a month, for now we just enjoy the sounds of nature. Also, a few morning pictures of cows in the comments, just because!

I had a great birthday doing what I love with the one I love! The waterfalls were really flowing. We stopped at Burden Falls and Ferne Clyffe. We would have loved to see more but we are busy putting finishing touches the cabin. #happybirthday #waterfalls #shawneenationalforrest #burdenfalls #ferneclyffe #hiking #chasingwaterfalls #rusticridge #moosethedog #more
