Ist Cabin Trip of 2009

Arrived with Barry and Jerry about 8 PM Friday night at the Lewisham "parking lot" . We loaded up the Quads and headed in despite warnings of "no snow" and "2 ft of water" on the road from flooding.



Half way in Barry found that the river (right behind him) is only down a few inches from the road level.

It turned out that there was still 3 ft of snow but only 1 ft of water to drive through at the low culvert.
No problem for the Quads. We drove right to the Cabin with all our gear.




With all the snow, parking was at a premium.

Saturday nite hit -22C and we had to bring the beer in but we found the loft very cosy for sleeping and didn't even have to open a window.


It warmed up to -8 C on Sunday and Jerry found time for a little skiing across the lake.



and Barry and I found time to drop the old dead pine .... without hitting the Cabin!



By the time we left Sunday, freezing rain had started, just to make the drive home interesting. Never a dull trip!!!
