Cabin Tale.

As Linc entered the house, he could smell something delicious. Trudy
had something cooking in the slow cooker.
In the living room, he found Lucas, John and Trudy sitting, drinking
coffee and watching the news. He went to sit in the other recliner,
when Angel jumped off Lucas's lap and came over to him to be picked
up. He did it while Trudy poured him a cup of coffee. They all asked
him what happened up at the cabin.
As they sat and drank coffee, Linc told them how Jim had piled a lot
of the big rocks from the tailings, up in front of the adit, then
covered them up with dirt he drug down from the hill above the adit.
It looked just like it had slid from the hill. If you didn't know
there was an old tunnel there, you would never find it anymore. He
also planted a big clump of grass he got down by the creek on top of
it too.
He made a berm in the road to the tunnel and piled some brush on top
of it as well. Linc told them that Jim suggested making a fire pit
on top of the trench. he liked the idea of the fire pit it would
remind him of how he, his Dad and Uncle Vernon used to camp out
around just such a fire pit when he was a kid. It would be a great
place to gather around when the kids come back to the farm next year.
He said he had been thinking of getting a good tent to put up at the
cabin then, so the girls could come up to the cabin as well. They
might like to go fishing too.
Linc said if no one bothered to go to see the cabin this year, winter
would erase every trace of things being done to hide the old mine
tunnel. Nothing could be better.
They all thought the fire pit was a great idea too.

Lucas told Linc the Angel had met the farm cats while he was gone. He
told him how he had gone to the garden to get some veggies for Trudy,
and Angel had followed him there. The cats were laying in the
sunshine, on a couple of bales of straw that John had put by the
garden to cover the veggies with after the first good frost. Angel
saw them and stood up to the bales to get a better look. One of the
cats put a paw on her head. She then barked at them. First time he
had ever heard her bark. The cats got down from the bales to check
Angel out better. They all had a mutual smelling contest, them they
seemed to accept each other and then they started to play together.
Looks like that problem had solved itself. They all had wondered what
might have happened when they met for the first time.
They all talked about different things for a while, and since Linc was
tired from all the walking he had done that day, he took his shoes
off, leaned the recliner back and put his feet up on the coffee
table. Darned if Trudy didn't do just the same thing his Mother did.
She pushed his feet off the table. Well naturally, the guys had to
laugh at that. Linc apologized and said he was just going to have to
get a recliner with a foot rest, since he couldn't remember anything.

Later that evening, when the others had gone to bed, Linc took Angel
out for her last walk of the night, while she was looking for the
right place, he looked up in the sky and wondered about just what
all is really up there. He saw the bolts of electricity going up high
in the sky above the pyramids, when he went through the portal. So
much he didn't know, and so much to wonder about. He picked up Angel
and went on up to bed.

Linc was tired, but tossed and turned, in bed. He just couldn't
seem to turn off his mind, and get to sleep. He kept thinking about
those darn pyramids. What time period was he in when he was there? He
finally got out of bed, got the GPS from his pack and looked at the
reading that was saved on it. Hmmm… he thought, and went to his
computer and looked up the co-ords for Egypt. Good grief!. No
wonder there was all that vegetation . He was there at a time before
the continents had even begun to shift. Whoa!…Well there goes the
theory that the Egyptians built those pyramids. They were done long
before there even were Egyptians. Well now, who did build them? Were
the built just to generate electricity? Blast it! This creates more
problems than answers. He started to think about how complicated it
would have been to plan all the stuff to build the pyramids to do what
he saw them do. What level each one had to be at? Just how far away
did each of them have to be from the largest pyramid to get the angle
for the electricity to shoot up from the far corners of the outside
pyramids, to intersect with the bolts shooting up from the four
corners of middle one, up in the sky? Wow! All that info would have
taken some strenuous calculations and formidable planning. Darn, too
bad he didn't learn more from his Dad about Physics, since he teaches
it at the university there in Provo.
He just wished he knew why the time master opened that portal for him.
Well nothing he could do about it now. He just wanted to forget about
all of it now and get to sleep.


After tossing and turning a while longer he was finally able to drift
off to sleep, only to be awakened by Angel, who was whimpering to go
out. Linc mumbled to her to hold on a bit until he got a robe and
slippers on. He took her down stairs and went out into the chilly
darkness. After bringing Angel back in he saw it was not quite four
AM. No way would he get back to sleep now so he went into the kitchen
and turned the coffee pot on.
Later as he sat in the living room drinking coffee, John came in with
a cup to join him.
John told Linc that he was going over that morning, to the big ranch
to help get all the rest of the hay bales into the barn, and he would
bring some home with him for the cow and calf for the winter. He also
asked Linc, since he was going to Provo in a couple of weeks, if he
and Trudy could have the next weekend off to visit family. Linc told
him ro go. He and Lucas could take care of everything here. They
could always call over to the big ranch if anything came up that they
couldn't handle.

Linc could smell something cooking and Lucas came in as he heard Trudy
setting the table.
After breakfast when John brought in a pail of milk, Linc told him he
would take care of the chickens if he wanted to leave right away. He
gave Linc a thumbs up and left for the big ranch..

Later he took what milk Trudy left for the chickens and went out to
feed them, while Lucas with Angel on his lap, watched the news on TV.
As he was about to leave, he saw a blue glow on the coop. He went in
and stepped into it and was again on the hill by the pyramids.

To be continued.
