The Beginning

So yeah I can't remember what email address or what password I used to create my original blog. I was trying too hard to be all, incognito and stuff! So I've created a new one and dumbed things down for myself for this current blog. hahahaha But if you're interested in my beginning, here she is:

Deliverance . . . .

While on a canoe-in camping trip up Apsley way, on Crab Lake to be specific, I stumbled upon this little gem. I only had to canoe through an obstacle course of a marsh, climb up the rock face cliff of the shore line and trek through the woods to get there. The whole while, the bango diddy from Deliverance playing through my head.....





Buried deep in the woods on a lake that can only be reached by canoeing through 2 lakes and through a portage that was affectionately referred to at the pits of hell with it's legions of mosquitos, was an adorable little long forgotten trapper camp. From the lake it can not be seen. But if you're the adventurous Punky, who decides to canoe through a marshy looking river to see where it went (was a dead end turns out), and you happen to glance up to the top of the cliff surrounding you, you might just catch a glimpse of a roof. At which point, you exclaim, "shut the front door! What is that shiznit hiding out in the middle of nowhere!!!"







Now when you find a building that seems to be doing it's best to hide, most people don't scale a cliff to "check it out" with only a camera in hand. I was really quite honestly expecting to find a grow op.









Should I go in???????????? I think so!!!!



What a quaint little cabin. Do I have time for a nap and a cup of tea. Hmmmmmm......


With lots of "old timey stuff" (thanks Juicey for the awesome phrasing there).






And things did not turn out well for this little feller!






Random!!!!!



And cause Copy Six taught me well, the money shot!

Thank you random little trapper cabin for a wonderful afternoon adventure!
