  • Spend the day with us at the Cabin! We'll take you along with for our entire day, from breakfast all the way to dinner and everything between. We have one big project to get off the list during this trip, and we'll tackle that today. It's so dry, we aren't allowed to have any open fires, especially the types we like to have burning brush.

    I remember hearing a guy tell me that at their summer cabin they would spend all summer there and the last thing his mom did before they packed up, she would open 2 pkgs of yeast and dump them in the outhousee. In the spring they would come back to an empty outhouse. The yeast actively ate what was in there. I have no clue is that was true and I can't remember who it was and the fact that it's been decades. Anyway... may be worth a try to experiment??

    Do more of those. Looks like a Glock, classic square top frame; recoil light; probably 9mm. - The better bear repellant. Now that you have blueberries by the cabin. Always keep a cheapie fishing rod set and some tackle at the cabin. That’s where those $25 Zebco rod and real sets come in handy. They work.
