In 2014 we bought a little cabin on a remote lake and right after my husband of course I am in love with it. Both summer and winter it's just a great place to be. Fly in only, not another soul around, just peaceful tranquility. The pups love to go too. You ask them if they want to go for a plane ride and you better be ready to go. If you're not while you get ready you trip over 2 very large dogs everywhere you go in the house.

Once we get the plane all loaded, we just open the door and in they jump! They're getting better at just curing up. They know when we're coming in to land and they are ready to sprint out of the plane. In the winter they jump out onto the lake and just run all over. In the summer to get in the plane they will walk the floats...when getting out it's a little more of a splash! They go straight to swimming up a storm. It's so much fun to watch them have so much fun. I'm so glad that Todd and I both love dogs so much and that we are able to provide a home for them with so much dog fun.
A few pics from our last trip. About Ranger on the snow machine...usually we run the machine up and down the lake and Ranger chases it everywhere! Well, Todd was making several long runs to make a runway for us and Ranger followed him a few times, then he sort of stopped 1/2 way like he was getting tired. On Todd's way back he stopped and motioned for ranger to jump on the machine. He sure jumped into Todd's lap and was happy as could be to be riding along. Now he always wants to ride. It's pretty funny. Bree and I also took a ride in the little cart we pull on the machine. Ranger was definitely having a better time, but she tolerated it.

Now's the time of year here in Alaska where the lakes start thawing out. It's time to wait for the lake to clear so we can put the floats on the plane and land on the floats. I really love float flying. It's just my favorite for some reason! Looking forward to the summer and enjoying this time right now to get everything all prepped and ready.
These next pics are just from a hike we did when we got back from the cabin this week. It is on a trail at Eklutna. I've viewed the lake from this far above before, but from flying over. I think my comment was it's a lot easier to get up this high in the plane...but it's also a lot more expensive! It's always fun to push yourself and see a view that not many people get to see. Makes me thankful for the things that I am able to do and for choosing a life filled with activity. Hopefully many more hikes to come in this lifetime!
