Crazy weekend !! March 3rd/4th

Crazy weekend for the cabin, no happy medium, 6 deg and high winds had the road and snow in general turned to mush.
I planned on getting in early with the family and heading out to get the lumber but on Thursday night had a big water leak at Chapel. Rozz didn’t know I fixed it so she didn’t think we were going…late to leave, late to get there.

 Saturday morning I started out with the van and trailer. The road was a slushy swamp over ice. Trees were down everywhere, then on the steep up hill at the old beaver pond I didn’t get up the hill… then a truck from the other direction came over the hill……….. Rozz finally walked back into the cabin knowing we would be there a while, then he got stuck trying to turn around. He went to get help but by then I had three vehicles coming in and me trying to go out and I couldn’t get up the hill or back up very far with the trailer….

 That took care of most of Saturday, then a blizzard hit, so we went sledding, but the trail in and out was so soft the quad kept getting stuck. 
Sunday was much better -15 and windy for Sunday, the lake was covered in an inch of ice over 3 inches of water over a foot of ice a nice combo for dock building, at least the road and trail froze-up so we could get out. Maybe next weekend?

Owners Meeting Feb/2012

The 2012 Owners Meeting went off without a hitch.

Doug & Murray broke trail into the cabin with the Subaru.


Rob arrived by snowmobile.



Shawn arrived on skis.



...because his Toyota didn't like the snow and needed a pull!





Barry arrived on ATV as usual ...






But this was probably the best way to get to the cabin!





With 10 inches of ice to stand on, it seemed like a good time to take the old dock apart. Now if someone would just build a new dock before spring.



The weather was great. Too bad we were only there for the weekend.
