We received an accumulation of snow overnight and this won't disappear. It's our first significant snowfall in a month. Don got the docks all moved for the winter but he still has a number of "to do's" on his list. He'll be glad he's got most of his outside jobs...

This might not look like much but it is actually a bear's den, it's in an old slash pile that's been there for at least 10 years. Don doesn't know if there is a bear in it, he didn't want to look that close. Yesterday, Don and Alex took advantage of the sunny day to...

Don caught Greg in his shop fondling this antler. This is the closest Greg ever gets to a moose. Well actually that's not true he has harvested moose and saw plenty this year. This antler is one of the many Don has in his shop for some project that he probably has in...
Happy Thanksgiving from Canada! This photo was taken from our bridge, looking downstream. There's a lot of water downstream because the beavers have built a dam which is causing high water. Don went to Mount Lake yesterday and drained the cabins so they are now shut...
It's another one of those days, cloudy with fog over the lake, 2C. We had more rain last night, sure would be nice to see some sun. However, the leaves are spectacular, colour is amazing. Archery moose hunters have all left, everyone saw moose. The fishermen will all...

This is Jeff and Matt. They both harvested their bears on the same night, a job well done. Yesterday certainly was a summer like day, very hot and windy but it has cooled down significantly overnight. When we went to bed last night it was 26C, this morning 9C. I think...
We had a couple of storms roll through last night, not much damage except for the boats on cabin 2 dock, they were filled with water this morning. Nothing that a sump pump can't handle. One storm was at around 10:30, wind and rain, the second storm was around 2:30 -...

This is McQuire. He's been fishing with this grandfather while his dad bear hunts. McQuire has been more successful than his dad! The bear hunters have been having to deal with wind and rain and bears being more hungry at night or early morning. We have a warm day...
John and Deb say this is a little bit of heaven as the sun rises over Mount Lake. The days are getting shorter as fall quickly approaches. The lake already has that fall-like look to it. We had a bit of a storm go through in the early morning hours, we received about...
Well the thermometer said it was 8C but it sure felt a lot colder than that this morning. It did make for a gorgeous sunrise this morning and you know that fall is fast approaching when you see the fog on the lake and hear a few geese flying overhead. We've had a busy...
