We headed out to Juneau Lake Cabin for the weekend. 8 miles. We lucked out on the weather - sunny and gorgeous. Nice to finally get some sunshine after all the wet weather we've been getting down in Seward.

The crew: Ben, Beate, Mandy, Me, Dave and Emma K (Mandy's dog), and Emma J. Stinklepants

yup. there's some snow already down there. B1 & B2 checking out the bear prints frozen in the snow.

here they are. pretty small bear judging from the size of the prints. we saw some gigantic prints frozen in the mud, probably belonged to a gigantic grizzly.

look how cute B & B are in their matching pants and bed rolls! :)


Emma J trying to get her stick that her mean mommy threw on the ice for her. She's too smart for that!

finally. after 4 hours, Juneau Lake!



We stayed at this cabin with Josh & Anna last March. Since then, the cabin has been remodeled. It's got new bunks, bamboo flooring, new benches, table, counter top for cooking and a brand new deck.

When we got there, the temps were warmer outside the cabin than inside!

Emma J has no shame.

Dave & Mandy went for a spin in the canoe. I stayed in and caught up on my Harry Potter 5.

Later, we ventured out for a walk and Dave got some spruce grouse which we had for dinner that night!


It was a cold Fall morning when we hiked out. There was frost everywhere and it was sparkling in the sun. Can't seem to capture it on the small, digital camera.

I picked some cranberries on the way back.

Emma K & Emma J - muddy and tired!! So were we! what a great weekend. we were sad for it to end.
