Cabin Fever

This past Weekend was a long Holiday Weekend here in the Northern parts. As the Summer Solstice draws near, the locals start to dream of bucolic get-aways, grilled meat and civilized drinking! As did yours truly, and fortunately a friend had indeed reserved a true Log-Cabin a mere 45 km from the Hustle & Bustle of the City, yet deep in a National Park, on a small lake, and with it's own Sauna! Gung-ho, then, I had Jeeves pack the equipment and secure them to my new/old trusty Velocipede "Nopsajalka" (Quickfoot), seen here:

The last 10+ km on gravel roads
in rain, with practically no
brakes, were a trifle difficult,
I must say!

The Cabin has no Electricity; the only fairly modern contraption was a small gas stove. Other than that, it was all about Wood-Logs and Lamp-Oil:


There were some nice Man-made and Natural details of Architecture:




Breakfast is served!

Fishing in the lake gave no result, but at
least some pretty Lilly-pads were found.


Of course there was nawt else
to do but bask
in the Sun all day...


Contrary to popular belief,
the Sun does not shine 24
hours a day even in these
parts; rather this
is the Mid-night Full Moon!

The trip was a success, especially after the Rain petered out after the first day. Thank Yous for all, and especially the organizer, Monsieur Ly, Esq, are in order!

Happy Summer Holidays for all!
