My cabin trip

Yep, you read right. Finally made it out to the cabin. My friend Randy put skis on the Supercub he bought from the Alaska State Troopers. This is Randy

This is Randy loading the plane at his house on the lake. His lake is pure ice. The wind was blowing quite a bit and was a bit of a chore trying to taxi away from the tie down.

These are photos taking off and traveling to my cabin. I'm in the seat behind Randy

These are views from above

This is Mt. Susitna, also known as Sleeping Lady. Certain times if you look hard enough, it looks like a lady with long hair sleeping with her arms folded over chest.

This is either a big pond or a small lake, depending on how one looks at it.

Some more photos

When we got to my cabin, we tried landing on the lake but, the temps. were so warm all week, we kept sinking in trying to land. So, we went to the other side of my property and landed on a packed snowmachine trail. This made it so hard to walk to the cabin carrying a bunch of things. Even with snowshoes on, we were sinking up to our knees. I gotta tell ya, I was plain tuckered out by the time we made it to the cabin. The main reason going there was to drop off my remote phone service. We have a company that provides a Yagi antenna and a box much like the one you have for tv. You raise up the antenna and point it towards a remote cell tower then, there are two wires that you hook to a 12 volt battery and hook up any home phone. I will have pictures when I go back. Parked on the trail.

Here are a few photos of the cabin. Had to shovel the snow just to get the door open.

I tied some surveyors tape on trees so if I snowmachine there in a snowstorm, it will be easier to spot.

I would have taken more photos but, the snow was so soft and deep, it was to hard to move around. I will do better the next time. Hope you enjoy, Ii know you all waited a long time. I am looking to go back in a couple of weeks. I told you it is small, lol. Take care.
