Solar Panels knocked flat!

Arrived with Barry to find that the last wind storm has snapped off all three posts and the entire solar panel array in the water, 

 

After dropping a couple of trees for new posts, we quickly rebuilt the array.

Since there wasn't any sun anyway, we went to fire up the water gen to keep the batteries charging. Found out that the beavers had raised the water in the creek so high that the water gen was half submerged so we rebuilt the platform to raise it out of the water.

March 13th Cabin Trip - Doug,Barry, Chris

Chris and I arrived late Friday night (midnght!) and found the cabin warm,courtesty of Barry, although, it was +3 C outside, anyway.

Everything frozen hard and the lake froze hard like glass. No traction for the snowmobiles at all.

We decided that the old dead pine at the road should come down and Barry carved up a special treat from the stump.

 Chris and I made a run back to Robinson lake and only had three water crossing on the trail! (three more coming back,too) Snowmobiles don't float!!

Cabin Trip Feb 17th 2020 - Barry/ Doug

Great day as we left Liewsham Lane but 5 minutes down the trail, Barry's snowmobile quit, again! This time we knew the problem ... it was seized!!! Found out that it was getting no oil! So we mixed up the tank with oil and got it running (mostly on one cylinder).. and it ran the rest of the weekend!

Great snow everywhere, although the lake proved slushy in spots. Lots of ice but water under the snow on top of the ice made it slushy going for the snowmobiles.

Our trip to Victoria Falls showed the river starting to melt... spring coming??

Ski Trip Jan 24th 2020

All the Bremner Boys plus Jean Pierre, our own French chef, made the trip!

Lots of skiing and snowshoeing done.

Doug made several trips in/out ferrying people  and supplies ...

While Barry and Rob dealt with some snowmobile issues..

Luckily, everybody made it out at the end of the weekend.

1st Cabin Trip Jan 5th 2020

Marcy and I decided to take advantage of the late winter and drove in to the cabin.

Barry and Jerry joined us so we celebrated Jerry's birthday!

With 5 inches of ice on the lake ,it seemed like a good time to drop some new posts in for the dock.

Annual Meeting Nov 2019

Despite suffering through the longest meeting on record (thanks to our bestest President ever) the night before a great gang of 7 managed to put in next years wood supply...

Rob,Shawn,Barry,Murray,Doug ... missing Craig and Jerry

Murray working on a birch.

Rob and chainsaw .... just before the pull start broke.

The Turbo fire proved hard to start but eventually burned all night.
