Weekend in the Woods - A Frozen Byers Lake at Denali State Park, Cabin #2

Dear Lower 48er's,

We just got back from an exhausting weekend playing up at Byers Lake, in Denali State Park. Our owners rented this really cool cabin for the weekend, it was big enough for lots of people, but it was just us. They had to park the car, then ski in almost two miles to get to the cabin, nestled in a snowy wood, alongside a huge frozen lake, beneath the mountains of the Alaskan Range.

On sunday we went for a 6 mile ski and hike through the woods. It snowed about 12 inchs that day.

The cabin was very warm, with pot belly stove providing the heat.




On monday we skiied back out, only to find the Escape covered under snow. Gretchen made me carry this heavy sled part of the way.




I hope you had a great Lee/Jackson/King holiday weekend, now its back to work......

Nice trip guys! I hope your owners brought you in lots of Bacon and Rabbit...did you like the cabin better than the family Igloo?

You shouldn't complain about the sled, next time, you might have to pull everything (including your owners!)
