2021 Cabin Bookings

For 2021, the covid-19 pandemic is not over yet so be extra careful and respect everyone's space.

For the long Holiday weekends, we all need to know who plans to be at the cabin so the rest of us can assess the risk and make informed decisions.

The trailer is no longer available. It will be removed this year.

As usual, all requests to use the cabin go through Doug. (the owners will then decide to grant or decline the request, depending on availability/ circumstances )

All the recreational equipment is to be shared by everyone. IE. canoes, paddles, life jackets,etc
Please ask the owner before using an ATVs/motorcycle. Remember if you break it, let the owner know to get it fixed.

Important Rules!

1. Play safe …It's a long way to a hospital. Cell phones may not work and 911 may not be able to find you here. (our 911 # is 1177 Black River Rd, East)
2. Wear life jackets when on the water … 4 people have drowned near here in the last 10 years.
3. Don't wander off by yourself because there are no “Search / Rescue” efforts until first light.
4. Tend your campfires carefully, especially in dry periods. There is a good chance of a forest fire.
5. Take your recycle/garbage home.. feeding the bears is not recommended.
6. Leave the wood box full, the next visitor will thank you.
7. Don't leave mousetraps set in the summer when you leave.... It can be a stinky mess by the time someone finds it.
8. If things break, either fix it /replace it or tell someone about it so we can fix it.

When leaving please turn off the following ...

1. the water pump on the 12vdc push button panel,
2. the cabin inverter,
3. the propane tank in the shed

 Remember to lock doors, windows and the gate when you leave.

In general, leave the Cabin as good or better than you found it.
Thank you,
the Brothers

First trip of 2021 - Jan 8th

 Arriving

Jerry and I headed north to meet Barry at the cabin for the first trip of 2021. Luckily, we were able to drive in with our trucks. The road, although narrow, was hard packed snow but the laneway was bumper deep in spots and it took a few runs to break trail up the laneway into the cabin. 

Barry was able to drive in about an hour later with his newly repaired snowmobile on the trailer.

All three run!

Jerry got Rob's Polaris dug out and running. No problem! and Barry unloaded his SkiDo. I moved the battery from my ATV to the Yamaha, dumped in 20L (half full) and fired it up. 

All 3 were running at the same time! (This wouldn't last)

Great weather ! Around 0 C during the day with bright sunshine. Found the lake frozen with a skiff of snow on top. Great campfires, too. No wind at all.

The Yamaha seemed to start and run fine but it was unable to accelerate past 60 k/hr. This wasn't a big deal as there are few places you can go faster than 60 but puzzling as to the reason why.

Two left one came back!

Friday saw Barry and I head out to Lewisham Lane to pick up Sydney and two friends. Halfway out the SkiDo quit cold! No reason. Just like last year. If it had been closer to the river, I am sure Barry would have pushed it in! I left him working on it, to get the kids with the Yamaha pulling both plastic sleds. 

He was still checking things on the dead sled when we came back so we decided I would drop the kids off at the cabin and come back with the truck and trailer. 

Jerry and I just got the truck and trailer out to the road when we met Barry driving his sled back. It had finally started! There had been no spark for reasons still not known but it ran fine for the rest of the weekend!

Saturday, we blazed new trails through the front field for use in winter or summer.

Birthday!

Took time Sat night to celebrate Jerry's birthday. Lit some candles!!

Yamaha finds top gear.

On Sunday morning I tried to fine the reason the Yamaha wouldn't go past 60 km/hr. Long story short, I finally noticed a green sponge jammed up under the windshield in the airway to the airbox.  I had put this sponge over the air box when I parked it, to keep debris out while it sat during the summer and it had somehow moved up into the hood. 

I was running an air restictor!!

A quick run on the lake and it easily topped 100 km/hr! Problem solved!

Three sleds running again! For now!
