My little cabin update

[Ron LaClair]

It was a good visit Terry, we'll have to do that more often.

I spent a good amount of time on the cabin porch today as I told you there was a nice breeze..  My son spotted a dandy buck across the lake bedded down by a dead tree with just his head above the grass. I kicked myself for not having my Swarovski's with me. I'm going to keep my spotting scope out there for when we see him again

I took this with my phone zoomed out as far as it would go. The buck was bedded where the dead tree that's leaning to the left. He was only visible when he raised hir head above the grass. I thought I got him but he must have ducked back down.

Very nice Ron!

[Ron LaClair]

I spent my first night in the cabin last night. The glow of the kerosene lamps gave it an old timey atmosphere.

A thunder storm came through around midnight and the temperature must have dropped 20 degrees. I just pulled the buffalo robe over me and slept like a baby

Beautiful place , Beautiful cabin, Ron... you might need an elk horn for that place? would be an honor, going to be gone fishing for a few days, talk at ya when I get back

[Ron LaClair]

I'm back home from spending five days and nights at the cabin. The first night a thunderstorm went through. The sound of heavy rain on the roof was lulling. As the temperature cooled I pulled the buffalo robe up over my shoulders. The glow on the celling from the one kerosene lamp that I kept burning turned down very low added to the ambience of the little cabin.

I added more memorabilia on the walls and celling on this trip and I think I still have a little room left for more.

Thanks, Ron, for posting the cabin story. It is giving me lots of ideas for how to set up a get-away hunting/fishing property for my retirement.

If I may ask, what company is the vendor for your little cabin?

[Ron LaClair]

I got the idea of the Mod 94 above the door from the Yellowstone series, Rip the ranch foreman hung his lever gun like that

This unique table pine table with worm holes is where I'll be sitting in the morning having coffee when it's too cold to sit outside.

Ron, I heard you had visitors to your cabin this past week/weekend. Pappy posted pics he took when he was in MI for the Elm Hall shoot. Sure looks like a place you can relax and get away from it all when you want. 

[Ron LaClair]

Yes I had company last weekend, Pappy and my hunting buddies from Shrew Haven

A PLACE
We need a place where we can go
A place like written by Henry Thoreau
So there to absorb the marrow of life
to leave behind all worry and strife

Me thinks this is the place for me
For there I will set my spirit free
that I may live out my remaining days
in peaceful bliss learning natures ways

If all them folks keep showin' up yer gonna need a bigger cabin.

[Ron LaClair]

"Lake LaClair" in front of the cabin is full of pan fish pike and bass.
The woods on the other side of the lake is my hunting grounds

I would be fishing every day that I am not hunting. It looks like you have a little bit of heaven on earth there, Ron.

[Ron LaClair]

No one fishes the lake but me so there's some really big gills pike and bass. A man could live off the fish in the lake and the critters in the woods.

Beautiful place Ron.  I figure that's about all that a guy could ever want.  A peaceful, beautiful place to fish and hunt in peace and quiet.
