Peterson Lake


Happy Sunday Everyone,

This weekend we rented a Forest Service Cabin. We hiked out to it Saturday afternoon about noon and came out today about the same time. We didn't stay as long as we would have liked, but the one evening was a wonderful break from painting doors, trim and the house. Not to mention work for Robbie. Our friend Keith and his son Cole joined us as well. The hike in is, well depending on who you talk to, somewhere between 3.5 and 4.3 miles. The cabin is situated about 200 feet from the shore line. This time of year the trail is great, because it is covered with snow. In the summer it really can be a lot more work, stepping over tree branches and swampy conditions. The lake was frozen over, except one area where there was a beaver dam at the outflow to the creek. When we hiked in yesterday the weather was absolutely beautiful, not a cloud in the sky and the sun was shining. However this morning it was equally as beautiful, but snowing and the sky was back to what we are used to around here, cloudy. I've attached another photo album, Peterson Lake Cabin, down below of some photos, if you care to take a look.

wow! It's great to see your blog! I had no idea you've been doing so many exciting things...like your honeymoon in Thailand! That must have been incredible- especially the elephant ride. I would love to do that! Unfortunately I have a dial-up internet connection, so I'm unable to check out the rest of your photos at this time, but I love the ones I saw. Juneau looks as beautiful as ever!

On a sadder note, I'm really sorry to hear about your dad )= I guess that's a bit belated but it's heartfelt nonetheless.
