Iindawo zeholide eziqeshisayo eHill City

IWest Cabin Country Lodge

Xa mna noLaurel satshata ngo-1994, ndaza ndafuduka eWahoo, eNebraska (kufuphi neOmaha) ukuya kwifama yeenkomo kumntla-ntshona weKansas, ndandisazi ukuba ndifumene iParadesi yam, Ngo-1880, oomakhulu bakaLaurel, uEoch noRebecca Fox, babeka ama-acres yokuqala ayi-180 eGoddard Ranch apho baphakamisa khona ingqolowa baze baqalisa ukuthenga iinkomo. Ngoku i-Goddard Ranch inee-acre ezingaphezu kwe-3,500 zedlelo kunye nefama kwaye, kwisithethe esifanayo sikaEnoki noRebecca, kusekho ifama esebenzayo. Xa ndaqala ukuza apha, ndafumana indawo evulekileyo, idlelo eliqengqelekayo, iintyatyambo zasendle, iintyatyambo zasendle, amachibi kunye nezilwanyana zasendle zazalisa umphefumlo wam ngokuzola. Ndiyithandile ifama kangangokuba ndifuna ukwabelana ngamava ndaza ndaxelela uLaurel ukuba sidinga indlu yeendwendwe yabahlobo nezalamane xa beza kutyelela. Enye iKrismesi ndandinekhadi leKrisimesi emthini ndisuka kwintshi yam, uJohn. Ngaphakathi ndifumene umfanekiso wendlu endala, embi kakhulu enengcaciso ethi, "Iprojekthi yakho elandelayo. Jabulela iKrismesi!" UJohn wathuthela indlu endala, embi eya kwifama yethu saza saqalisa ukulungiswa. Iminyaka eyi-10, izongezelelo ezimbini kunye neelitha ezininzi zepeyinti kamva, sinendawo yokuhlala entle kakhulu ehleli ecaleni kwenduli, enemithi emihle ejikeleze kuyo nomhlaba wodle kangangoko ujonga. Ngaphakathi ligumbi losapho elivuleke kakhulu (20x32 feet) elisekhitshini nakwigumbi lokutyela. Kukho amagumbi okulala amabini anebhedi engamawele kwigumbi lokulala ngalinye. Sinesofa entsha ekhupha ibhedi enkulu enomatrasi oyi-intshi eziyi-7 kwigumbi losapho. Kukho oomatrasi ababini abangamawele kunye nomatrasi omnye. Kukho amagumbi okuhlambela ayi-2, igumbi lokuhlambela iimpahla elinomatshini wokuhlamba impahla/wokomisa impahla, nekhabhathi enesinki ephindwe kabini. Zonke iitawuli zokuhlamba, izinto zebhedi, iitawuli zezitya nezinto zokuhlamba iimpahla ziqukiwe. Ikhitshi linesitovu, ifriji, i-microwave, umatshini wokuhlamba izitya, zonke iimbiza neepani, izitya, izinto zesilivere kunye nekhabhathi zigcwele zonke izitya. I-Cable TV kunye ne-intanethi engenazintambo zinikezelwa. Ukusuka kwiveranda engaphambili, unokubukela amahashe edlelweni nakwiinkomo ezityiwa phezu kwenduli. Ukuba unyuka intaba usuka kwiyadi engasemva, uza kufumana ichibi lokuloba okanye uhambe malunga neekhilomitha eziyi-5 phantsi kwendlela eya eAntelope Lake ukuya kwiintlanzi. Ungalandela umlambo uze ukhangele amaxhama, ukuzingela iintloko zetolo, ukunyuka intaba, ukhwele ihashe, okanye ubukele ukuphuma kwelanga nokutshona kwelanga. Ebusuku, ii-hotdogs nee-marshmallows ngasemlilweni wokukhempisha phantsi kokubona iinkwenkwezi. Awusoze ubone iinkwenkwezi ezininzi esibhakabhakeni kunokuba uphume kwi-prairie evulekileyo. Ukuba uhamba namahashe, sinedlelo elibiyelweyo kunye novimba wokuzikhwela. Ukuba ungumntu wembali, sine-Indian effigy, iPenokee Man, kumhlaba wethu kwaye uza kukusa ukuze ubone apho ahlala khona emva kweminyaka eyi-1000. Kufuphi apha yenye yeendawo zokugqibela zokufota zaseIndiya/eCalvery ibe imyuziyam yethu eseHill City izele zizinto zobugcisa ezibonisa imbali enkulu yale ndawo. Umyeni wam, uLaurel, uyakuthanda ukubalisa amabali akhe xa oomakhulu bakhe bezihlalisa iindawo zokuqala eziyi-180. Kwiminyaka eyi-8 edlulileyo, i-Seven 2 Bar iye yabuka abantu baseIndiya, eUkraine, eItali naseMerika. Indawo yethu yokuhlala iyafumaneka kwiiholide zempela-veki, iiholide ngeveki okanye ngenyanga, ukuzingela entwasahlobo nasekwindla, ukudibana kweklasi, ukudibana kweklasi, okanye ukuphuma nje kwindawo ephithizelayo yesixeko. Sinikezela nge-turkey ekhokelwayo kunye nokuzingela kwe-pheasant. Izikhokelo zethu zinamava kakhulu kwaye ziqeqeshiwe izinja zokuzingela i-pheasant. Ndinikezela ngokutya okuphekiweyo ekhaya ndize ndenze yonke into ukususela ekuqaleni. Yiza usityelele uze ubone imbali ephilayo yeGoddard Ranch kwi-Seven 2 Bar Adventures.
