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!!
"Dad! Help!!
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 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.

Work Weekend June 5th to 7th 2009
With all five owners going you knew something was going to be built.
Murray packed only essentials. Luckily, he does not have a bigger trailer!
He even found time for his hobby ...... planting trees in the rain.
The new Muskoka room takes up most of the new deck.
Stay tuned for pics of the new shower addition!
Oh Yeah. No sign of the bear this time.

Lost items!!
Well, we continue to lose things from the Cabin. It appears someone is systematically looking for things to walk off with.
Missing Items
Portable radio (2005)
Propane lantern (Doug's)(2005)
Canoe (Dad's) (summer of 2006)
Binnoculars (Dad's) ( 2006)
Sleeping bag (Barry's) ( 2007)
Generator (Barry's 1200 watts, new) (2008)
Pair of loading ramps (Barry's)(Fall of 2008)
Fishing Pole ( Doug's 5' spinning rod/reel)
It looks like we will have to increase security. Perhaps add more surveillance cameras as the ones we have, have had limited success.

The Cabin Bear
Barry, Roz and their two girls were up at the Cabin for the May long weekend only to find that the Cabin has a new mascot!!!
This bear did not want to go away. Barry scared it off several times and it kept coming back.

Cabin Trip March 13th - 15th
We had another great weekend at the Cabin if you don't count the -20C on Friday night but there were signs that spring was coming.
Daytime temperatures were +8C and led to many outdoor activities. Like sledding.
Girls on the slopes.
... this may be a new sport ..... joisting anyone?
Still lots of snow but froze hard and we could ATV anywhere through the bush.
Girls take Jerry for a ride. Hunter Lake ice was over 20 inches thick.

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!!!

ATV rescue in Dec 08
Barry and I finally found time to try and bring the ATVs home from the bush. We probably left it a little late, again and the early snow this year didn't help.
We asked Rob to get his old Polaris out of retirement one more time as we expected a lot of snow and would need transportation in.
Luckily, not only was the Black River road plowed but was being widened by a friend of Phil's with a snowblower .
We found the Atvs right where we had left them, in a ravine. How we got them out to the road is a whole 'nother story!!

5th Annual Owner's Meeting Nov 7th - 9th
The 5th Annual Owner's Meeting turned into an ambitous work weekend.
Murray having purchased a sizeable quantity of lumber was keen to put it to use (and get it out of his driveway!!)
After an intense 5 to 10 minutes of planning and with much help from our friends Paul and Mike, we started on a new deck and tool shed.

Cabin Trip Sept 26th - 28th
Curt Hunter and Murray Smith came up on their bikes to help cut wood for the weekend.
Here's something you don't see everyday at the Cabin. Street Bikes!!
They were a little nervous going past the beaver damn, but they made it. They were even more nervous when it rained all night and Barry filled them with stories of super slick mud holes, but they didn't have any problems.

Cabin Work Weekend June 13-15th
Surprise! No black flies!! But a fair crop of mosquitoes!
A great weekend to get some jobs done that were on the "To Do" list from the last Annual Owners meeting (I think).
We managed to install the new wood stove with a glass door and rebuild the chiminey top to bottom.
Plus install the new 30 inch stove with electronic ignition!
In our spare time we worked at raising the dock from the bottom of the lake with limited success. Probably would have finished except for eventually suffering heat stroke on Sat.
Still a very productive work weekend .
