Halloween Day

Well, we're almost buttoned down for the winter. The water lines are drained, the canoes are stored, and the new septic system for Cabins 4 through 7 is just about in! The electrician was here yesterday, just before last night's snowfall, so the new pump is all hooked up.

We got a new camera yesterday, so I can share a photo of our new mound - Mitch and Mike really did a great job - we'll plant a few more trees and we won't even know it's there!

Putting in the new system was quite a job - the weather hasn't exactly cooperated. Lots of rain and not what you'd call warm weather didn't help. Mike did a lot of the "grunt" work so he's pretty worn out... digging trenches, filling in trenches, crawling under cabins to unhook and hook up plumbing etc. wasn't a lot of fun. He's also been working on some cabin foundations - as long as he's under there anyway, why not?

We're hoping to make our annual trip to Mountain Iron with used canoes next week, it's always a great visit with friends and Lin really likes shopping in Virginia. We'll have a whole stack of new Kevlar canoes next spring! In the meantime, isn't the little creek between Cabins 3 and 4 beautiful?
