Cabin Fever

Your step-by-step guide to catching a serious case of cabinous feveralis a.k.a. "cabin fever."

1.  Eat a ridiculous amount of Thanksgiving dinner.  Make sure when you are trying to decide if we want pie "now or later", to always choose "later."  (This tactic always gets the card playing going quicker than usual.)

2.  Play a fast and furious game of Cantelope to work up your appetite for pie.  If your name is Gayle, hand your family members a memorable defeat.

3.  The next day, go for a gorgeous hike up Hurricane Creek into the Wallowa Mtns.  Eat some more on the trail.  Come back to the cabin and eat more pie.

4.  Be thankful for family, friends, warm cabins in the mountains, wine, pie, and turkey.

To cure the most severe cases of cabinous feveralis, ridiculous amounts of leftover turkey and pie are needed.  Most cases are a lost cause.  More Thanksgivings at the cabin are the only reliable remedy...
