Hot days
and cool nights!
It was perfect weather to take to the lake and we had the right vechicle to do it in.
Although, getting in to it was a challenge! and we had to get towed back!
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.

Rob even found enough wind to get his sailboat up on edge.

Work Weeekend June 12 2010
Murray had not been to the Cabin since April and he wanted to make the most of it.
WARNING! You will not see any ATVing, Fishing or Boating pics here
First we extended the deck.
So we could put up the screened gazebo
and then we tore out the east end of the loft to put in the new window.
and so Barry and I weren't standing around too much while Murray was ripping out the wall we levelled the dock (again). (no pic....you've all seen that before)
We did find time to field test the new Water Gen.... a potential source for future hydro.
of course if we weren't doing things like this we would just be bored ..... fishing, ATVing or something :)

Cabin Update
A couple of work weekends this fall saw a few jobs completed.
The solar panels were remounted on steel supports.( snow load was an issue)
The roof got painted. ( snow load was an issue)
and additional rafters were placed inside.( again, snow load was an issue). Plus the cabin now has a ceiling to help with keeping the heat lower.

The 5th Annual Friends & Family Camping Weekend - Sept/2009
Another excellent September long weekend for our 5th Annual Friends & Family Camping Weekend at the Cabin!
It was even warm enough to swim. Lindsay took a swim in Hunter Lake, Robinson Lake and the Black River!

Here's a few pics of one of the younger generation enjoying the great outdoors .

The Annual Hunter Lake Fishing Tournament proved to be a challenge as several teams were at risk of being skunked as time ran out.
This year's Hunter Lake's Master Angler is once again Sydney Bremner. Sydney is a fishing machine! Will she three-peat next year?

Crows check for left overs as soon as anyone leaves.
A racoon checks out the place as soon as we go inside.
A hawk, possibly a Merlin.

Cabin Trip June 28th - July 1st 2009
We had a very relaxing couple of days at the Cabin. Yes, it did rain but only 2-3 times a day and still we had enough sunshine to get in a few criuses around the lake.
Shawn and Jack showed up on Wed. Just as we were packing to leave.
Jack soon found a place to play.
( He was already in his second set of clothes.)
Nothing ventured nothing gained.
It didn't end well!!
