My cabin ... an update.

Here some new pictures from my cabin ... I did some work in it and had to clean it up after my mass ... will say, it was a good opertunity!


That is the "entrance" room.


The view into the "entrance" room from my living area ...


... here my kitchen. I still hope to find a little propane stove but they are hard to get used and new they are pretty expensive here! Until then I will stick with my camping cooker.


Dining "room".


This side of the cabin has a little bit higher ground than the other side ... here my living "room" ...


... and my queen size bed!

Kusawa Lake

My last free day ... knee pain and grey weather ... so, I had just a short visit at Kusawa Lake.


It is very beautiful there with a real beach ... just too cold to enjoy the water or to have a sun bath.


This could be my future house ...


Takhini River.


And I am on my "favourite" gravel roads ... but I didn't get a flat tire!

Samuel Glacier - Haines Road

On the second day we drove down the Haines Road to hike into the area from Samuel Glacier ... easy and very nice trail ... unfortunately my knee started to hurt ... so a long walk for me - but it was absolutely worth!


Oh, again in this car ... where are we going now??


Wonderful mountains with great changing colours.


First time crossing that little creek ... I was moaning because the water was soooooo cold.


One part of the big glacier ...


... and another part.


Looking for wildlife ... without success.


And some little play fights in the break.


Enjoying the landscape.


And two who are happy to be together again and hiking like new born ( Spot ).


Same way back ... through the little creek.


Stefanie on her way ... good to see that even she has to be concentrated.

Sheep Moutain - Haines Junction

I was very lucky .... got three days off and I could go together with my friend Stefanie, who is a professional wilderness guide and her two clients for some day trips in the area of Haines Junction ... first day: Sheep Mountain - Sheep Boullion Plateau ... very nice like you will see with those pictures.


Little introduction for the trail.


Passing a little creek.


First view in the valley .... breath taking!


Bella and me on the trail.


Little break for all of us.


And dogs are begging for treats ... especially Spot!


Getting slowly higher ...


... with a wonderful view.


And the first snow patches ...


... and somebody was very happy to see this wet, white stuff again!


On the way back to Haines Junction ... tourists ( Stefanie and her two clients ) ...


... wonderful view over Kluane Lake.


Tired Spot ... but he did great after he was ill for some weeks.


And even little Bella was exhausted - but like princesses are, she needed a more comfortable spot!


At Pine Lake Campground Stefanie cooked great spaghetti for us.


And we all were really hungry!


And here to two dog mama's.
