Need a nice summer vacation home? I have found the place for you. Nestled up in the Cascade Mountains at a place called Wolf Lake. Here is the view from the front door of this cozy little cabin in the woods that is just waiting for your arrival. That is Wolf lake! In the winter there is actually a lake, but in the summer, it is this beautiful High mountain meadow. (there is a small pond like thing out in the middle if you still would like to have a lake.)
What is the best part of a wilderness vacation? I'm glad you asked. Solitude. You do not want to be disturbed by all the pesky tourist and touristy things to do, right. Well, this cabin is for you. Once you get up here and get settled in, you won't see another soul. Even if someone comes by, chances are, they would not see you or your cabin, as it is tucked up into the trees and blends in nicely with its surroundings. Here is the front door to your new paradise, looking at it from the shores of Wolf lake.
The builder was also thinking about how to get out in case of emergency. What if the door is blocked by fire? Well, ok, if the door is on fire, the whole thing probably is! But, if you woke up from a nice afternoon nap and there was a bear standing in your front door looking for your garbage can, you can escape out the second exit to the east. Here is a pic of the east side of your hidden hide away. It is also helpful for when Wolf lake might get too full in the rainy season and you don't want to get your new expensive hiking boots dirty in the mud out the front door.
Next in the virtual tour of your new wilderness paradise, is shows the view from inside looking out the front door. As you can see, you are right there on the shore of Wolf Lake. You can't find a better location.
One more view of the outside to show the builders conscientious effort to build a "green" building. As you can see from this picture, it is built to blend into the environment and even goes so far as using natural elements as part of the structure. Notice the large old growth log on the ground acting as part of the foundation of the cabin and the live tree that is the main vertical support structure for the building. All elements that help it blend into the natural surroundings.
Now for the interior of this cozy cottage. Furniture is included. The next pic show the sleeping area and the custom built wilderness recliner. Try to find that at Ikea!! Notice the efficient use of resources in that the bed is the old log that is also part of the foundation, and if the bed is not soft enough, there is ample supply of padding just outside the door so you can fluff it up the way you want. I recommend moss, but there is also plenty of ferns and grass as well.
Okay. So I know you are thinking, "that's kinda small." Of course it is, what part of "cozy" did you not understand? But, before the claustrophobia sets in completely and you change your mind prematurely, it has high vaulted ceilings, which make it see very roomy and airy. (Well maybe its the wind blowing throught the gaps in the walls making it feel "airy", but we just call that wilderness air conditioning.)
Next we have the Dining/Kitchen area. It comes complete with the basic utensils, dishes, and a frying pan. It also has a fully unstocked pantry there on the wall above the kitchen table/counter top. I know, I know, you want to know about the running water, right? What do you need that for, when Wolf lake is 2 steps out the front door. This will give you the old frontier days feel that you have been longing for since being stuck in traffic on the way home from work everyday. It takes you back to a time before cars, cell phones, and computers. Speaking of computers, don't bother bringing your laptop, there is no internet out here and very sketchy cell phone service, if any. This is a real wilderness experience cabin.
That concludes the virtual tour of the cozy little wolf lake wilderness frontier days experience vacation cabin on the lake. You are probably now wondering, "What about a bathroom?" This is the wilderness remember. Just step out the front door, and pick a bathroom. There are hundreds of them. They are also known as "trees." I told you this is a
wilderness cabin. (just be sure not to use the one right by the door. That could get messy.)

sometime after the 1st and before the 31st. If all goes according to plan, which it never does or ever will, I will have a couple hundred pounds of elk meat in the freezer before the end of the month of January. Now if the darn gawkers will cooperate and the runners keep running and stay away from their slower moving cousins, then it will be a good successful hunting season and I will finally get to blog about actually filling a tag! That could be fun. We'll see what happens. Stay tuned.
We began to wonder if this was one of those fake deer that game officers set out to catch those hunters that are so frustrated by all the runners running off out of thier sites before they can get an acurate shot off, that they start straying from the rules and guidelines for hunters set up by the agency that attempts to manage wild animal populations and start throwing lead in the direction of anything that looks like a deer, anytime of day, or night or from inside their vehicle or from a road.(there are laws about when, where and how to shoot at wild animals.) About this time, we notice a second deer doing the same thing. So we snap some pics and watch both of these deer for what seemed like an eternity, and niether one of them showed any sign that they were actually real deer.
