The spur of the moment we were asked to go with some friends
to their remote cabin.
(this is not the cabin this was the treasure)
stay tuned
Its down a trail almost 10 miles......zero cell phones.
Mimi was so excited to be riding with her favorite.....
We arrived at the lake, so quiet and peaceful
there was a pair of trumpeter swans.
They were always blurry when I zoomed in with my camera.
There were 3 beaver dams.
this was the bathroom...and she said if you prefer there was a 5 gallon bucket
so Mimi and I went together and grabbed the bucket
there at the bottom was a dead frozen mouse.....we decided to find trees
you know what a mouse does to me....I was alert let me tell you!
The lake in the morning....
We all went for a long walk in the morning
because in the distance when we were coming in I had spotted
an abandoned cabin or what looked like one
in Alaska you never know.
this was one of the cabins
Just look at all these lovely old windows....
Beautiful wood stoves....
You could see at one time this was a homesteaders home
I could not look in the windows because of the snow
so I just pressed my camera up to the window.
This window the snow was higher look at that lovely embroidered tablecloth.
This woman was such a picture taker this was a camera hold up......
She is so lovely!
My boys were so excited to target practice.
It was so nice to say yes to an invitation we usually say no
and work....we have to make memories and
discover hidden treasures.
Our kids are growing up so fast.....
On the way home we hit a garage sale....
can't wait to show you my little find!
I love the faded colours of the yellow hut with the blue door - fantastic!

How exciting that you can travel by skidoo! The bathroom looks a little scary, but a frozen mouse, oh, poor Heidi, I can just see you now!
ReplyDeleteThe cabin is amazing, the blanket hanging over the doorway is very nice, if only you could have seen more.
Looking forward to seeing your garage sale treasures, enjoy your week, Tam x

Your pictures always make me think of 'Narnia', a magical winter wilderness...........I think I would have looked for a tree too. xx
ReplyDeleteSo exciting to go on such a trip :)
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be many treasures in there!
And so much snow you have, here is gone now.
But in the mountains located it yet.
Hugs from Jane
What a wonderful way to share with us what your part of the world looks like. My finger tips feel cold, just thinking about that much snow. I wonder what it was like to live there 100 years ago...even 75 years. We are so lucky, especially for indoor bathrooms!
ReplyDeleteSo glad for you, its what you were always hoping for, family memories.
ReplyDeleteit looks like a perfectly lovely w/e :) and lots of fresh air!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, looks like a lovely time with each other :)!
ReplyDeleteWe should all be so sensible to take time off work and have a holiday.
ReplyDeleteheidi! what fun we'd have if we were plastering and painting alongside one another. i often think of the possibility. why ever is alaska so far out?
ReplyDeleteLOVE the zero cell phones plot!
and i am charmed by your peering inside images. quite mysterious too. you have such an eye for detail.
well done on you all, for taking this trip!!
n♥
It's wonderful that you took the time to make some wonderful memories. I love exploring new places especially when they are filled with history, oh the stories that are hidden behind those walls. Very sweet post Heidi....I loved it!!!!
