alaska–more of day 4

 

After the salmon and the gulls and the fly-fishing, we made our way to the remote cabin located on Dolly Varden Lake.  After driving 14 miles down a gravel road, we arrived at the lake, loaded up our gear in the canoe and the kayak, and started paddling.  About a mile of zig-zag canoeing (out of practice?) brought us to the cabin where we were greeted by the buzzing mosquito welcoming committee.  No fear . . .  we donned our fashionable mosquito-netting headgear and went about our business. 

We unloaded the boats and immediately headed down to the lake to soak our weary aching legs in the cold water (see day 2).  Bro kept the cabin nice and cozy with a wood-stove fire, filtered some water from the lake, and cooked up some dehydrated meals for dinner.  What a pro!
