Rambler's Roost

Anyone going to the cabin this winter will need to take some table salt and coffee (can be whole bean because there is a grinder there) to replace what is now missing. Make sure when you leave to replenish what kindling and firewood you have used from what is already inside the cabin. You will have to turn the power on at the breaker panel, and then remember to turn it completely off when you leave, making sure the refrigerator and freezer doors are propped open. Do not leave any water in the buckets or kettles as it will just freeze and damage the containers. Also, do not leave any food or water in the refrigerator or freezer. If there is a build up of snow on the sleeping porch there is a snow shovel in the cabin for snow removal. The rain gutter on the front porch has been twisted and partially torn off because of sliding snow from the roof. We will just have to replace that next spring. Access to the river for water can be a trick but with care in how you dig out your steps can be done safely. Staying at the cabin during the winter presents various challenges but is very relaxing once you get your fires built and can kick back and relax in the quietness that comes with cushion of snow all around you.
