My new small cabin
« on: May 31, 2020, 06:58:38 AM »
Shrew Haven in Michigans upper peninsula is my deer hunting camp where I spend about 10 days with friends hunting every fall. The problem is that is a 9 hour drive from my home in the lower part of the state so my time spent there is limited because of it's location.

My wife was born and raised on a farm just an hours drive north of where I live. It has a 3 acre lake on the back side loaded with bass, pike and panfish. I've graduated from a john boat to a small pontoon boat for fishing on the lake and I spend most of my weekends there in the summer plus a good amount of time hunting every fall.

I normally stay in the house where our oldest son now lives and go back and forth to the lake in my ATV
I just purchased a small log cabin that I'm going to have moved to sit close to the lake, giving me a place to stay when I'm there. It was built by the Amish from 8" cedar logs, it is 12'X 20' with a 4' porch in front. Furnished with a bed, small wood stove plus table and chairs will give me an oldtimey place to stay both in summer and wnter.
I'm really looking forward to havng it there and I antiipate spending many hours of enjoyment in the days ahead.

My pontoon boat is a good size for the lake

Looking good, Ron. That is a great set up. You can do something great every day in a place like that.
By the way, How is the new shoulder? Mine are great.

Beautiful setup! Do you have any pictures of the inside? My neighbors have one but, it is not a log cabin type and they love it.
I would've taken better care of myself,if I'd known I was gonna live this long!

I don't have it moved on site yet so there's nothing inside. The 8" logs are both the outside and inside walls.
