The Hawker's Cabin

The Hawker's cabin is one of my children's favorite places to visit. The cabin is nestled in rolling hills directly North of Park City. The landscape includes towering pines, billowing oaks, and lush ground cover. Often you will see wildflowers blooming and covering the mountain side with splashes of color.

Rainfall has been at a minimum, so the countryside was a little dry, but still gorgeous. The panoramic view from the cabin is stunning. From the top of the mountain through the picturesque windows, or fabulous deck, you can view Park City to the South, and the beautiful tree covered hills to the west. We were there over the 4th of July and were hoping to watch the Park City fireworks. They were cancelled due to the threat of wildfires. We would have had an incredible view of them.

Lightening storms are another fabulous sight.  It is a natural wonder sitting in the room with all windows looking out over Park City watching lightening dance across the dark skies.  It is stunning!

The cabin; Sunshine Cafe meal (breakfast); and lots of barbecuing. Everyone pitched in with the cooking.  Quinn cooked the sausage, and I was glad he did since he got food poisoned later that night and attributed it to the sausage.  No one else got sick, thank heavens!

The beautiful scenery.

Moose alert!

Riding ATV's. This was another first for me.  The first time I was a driver rather than a passenger, that is.  No problem, easy-peasy. Don't ask my passenger Ben though, all he remembers is the small adjustment period at the first of our ride.  Pregos (Meg) went on a ride with Mike.  Luckily, it didn't start her into labor.

A rainy day in Park City. Lunch at the Eating Establishment, and a movie.

Things we like to do at the cabin:  Hot tubbing, yep that is pregos in the hot tub.  I told her to quit cooking my grandson.  She just rolled her eyes.  Don't worry she was only in for a minute and then dangled her legs. Card games, pingpong, and scar pong and are must.  We (I) enjoyed doing Grandmotherly things like crocheting around blankets and burpers.  Yes, that is Lizzy pretending she knows how. We also watched lots of movies.  Ask Ben to do his Napoleon Dynamite impressions they are pretty great.  After watching it 4 times, he has them down.

I parked the boat at the entrance of Stage Coach estates in the parking area.  Thursday we took it for a spin at Jordenell Reservoir.  We had lunch, and just boated.  No water activities today.  It got a little stormy so Mike put up the gear for Ben and Lizzy to hide from the elements

We were so sad Kate couldn't come.  She had to work.  Kate is so fun, and helpful, we missed her!

Thank you to our wonderful friends for letting us stay at your cabin!  We had a wonderful time!
