My mind is made up

 Hi everyone, for the past week, I have been doing a lot of thinking and decided that this Winter, I will be spending it at my remote cabin. I'm not sure if I had told you all that I am seeing two therapists, one is once a week and the other once a month. I am seeing them because, there is something wrong with me mentally and I have not been figuring out what it is. The one I see once a week is really good at helping me and because we see each other face to face, I get more out of it.

Well, this past two weeks, I have been watching videos on YouTube titled Life Below Zero, these videos are about living in the Alaska Bush like I did years ago and it hit me, that is what I am missing in my life, my {old life}. Ever since I started watching the series, I noticed a spark in my life like I haven't had since I left the Alaska Bush lifestyle. Starting this week, I will be shopping for dry goods and other things that I will need for the Winter out there.

Sometime this week I will go 10 miles down the highway to Deshka Landing where everyone starts from to go out to their remote cabins year round. I will pay $650 for the annual pass and I will get my own area to store supplies and my snowmachines in the Summer or a boat in the Winter. I will also get unlimited entry. Once that is done, I can start storing materials to go out this Winter. I have 2-3 more dock walkways to build and I will take them out this Winter and set them up for next Summer.

I am really happy about this and can't wait to tell my weekly therapist tomorrow. He will be thrilled with my decision. I hope all of you will be happy because, I will have plenty to blog about. My feeling is, since being on the road system, everything was available to me and I became lazy and because of that, I felt depressed. Being out at the remote cabin, I can't afford to be lazy. There will be a lot to do or I will be in trouble.

In case you are interested, the mornings are 32-40 now. Today I made some chili for lunch and it sure tasted good.

                                  Tonight was steak and Cole slaw
Fall has started, I am thinking we will have an early Winter and a cold one

I hope you are all glad that things are getting better for me and I am returning to my old self. Thanks for sticking around.   Take care

Popular fishing spots in my area

 It was such a nice day, I figured I would take a ride and take photos of popular fishing spots within 12 miles either way of my cabin.

                                             Cut on my hand

                                     Little Willow Creek
                                           Little Willow Creek
                                          Willow Creek
                                                Willow Creek
                        Checked the dock I made for Kashwitna Lake 
                               Mt. Denali with Mt. Forriker to the left.
I was taking photos and tripped and fell. Broke my camera when it hit the pavement.

                      This is Montana Creek, a very popular spot. The walking bridge

                                     Looking up Montana Creek
                                  Looking down Montana Creek
                                       Looking up Sheep Creek
                                      Lower Sheep Creek


The pictures of my wounds came when I tripped on the walkway and fell. My camera fell out of my hands and hit the pavement and bent the lens and broke something inside. Some of the photos I took with my phone.
