- One more 15 watt solar panel (bigger is better but it has to be for a 12 volt system).
- Air pump to blow up water toys.
- Hot water dispenser (runs on propane).
- Strings of white LED lites for deck lighting.
- Two loads of 3/4 stone for the lane.
- Lumber for a new dock.
- 26" flat screen LED TV - possibly with DVD player but not necessary.
The Cabin was built by five brothers with the help of some very talented friends on 100 acres of the finest beaver habitat, moose pasture and Canadian Shield that one could hope for. This blog invites comments from those who have an interest in the cabin.

Cabin Map
I was thinking that a nice feature for cabin users would be a map.
A kind of fun map (not an official gov't type map) that shows the points of interest to see around the Cabin. Several of our cabin users do not venture far from the Cabin because they either don't know what there is to see or what direction or how far it might be.
It could cover from Lewisham lane, to Victoria falls, to Lewisham, Ragged Rapids, etc. The points of interest could be scenic views, fishing spots, swimming places, all Barry's trails, old cabins, Beaver Dams etc

Annual Spring Mud Trip
This year Shawn, Barry, Jim, Rob & Doug braved the unknown for the 2011 Annual Spring Mud Trip.
Barry & Jim wondered what they were getting into when they met Lonney coming out and he stopped to say "I'm getting out before the water gets any higher!"
Luckily, I was in first in and texted the boys to advise them that the road was dry. Now, Rob swears that he had water over the hood but who knows where he was driving! Shawn drove his Highlander right to the Cabin and did report "some water" on the road.
Saturday was wet and windy but didn't stop Barry & Jim from trying to get to Lewisham. Only when they had to float their quads across did they decide to turn back. Sunday started with a whiteout and it came and went all day but it never seemed very cold as the sun came out now and then.
(Sorry, no pics)

Barry & Jim's trip into the Cabin - April 17th
A few pics show that their trip in was interesting!
It looks like a foot deep ..... unless the culvert has been washed out. See next video to find out.
Then there is a rumour that the local bandito club stole their food.
