This is the Alaskan cabin in the family. It is surrounded by state land, is only accessible by boat or snow machine, and was purchased a couple years ago by my in-laws who were looking for some space out of town and a pre-retirement project. Splitting wood (see my husband back left) and getting clean, warm water are two of the biggest projects now that the cabin has been remodeled and an outhouse has been built.
After they purchased the cabin, they had to purchase a new boat. We inherited the old one, which needs a lot of electrical work, but we get rides on this one and borrow it sometimes on our river, the Chena.
Speaking of work, there was a lot to be done in the yard last weekend when we visited. Here the boys and grandma are waving at passing boats while they throw brush onto the fire.
It was a long day for the boys. One fell asleep on the boat seat on the ride back to the car and the other slept in the car.
