Or, put a barrel stove in that palace of yers! Nothing like a cracklin' fire to come back home to...that's what makes it fun!! Now HERE's an uninsulated cabin! And fulla bats, with no windows! Screens and sheets! Chimney comes down to nothing, stove was ripped out years ago. Home for me and my buddy for 3 days every year while fishing the tourney up in McGregor. 29* at nite..... leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delcecchi Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Yep. Before we were married, camped at fall lake MEA weekend. In a tent. Snow falling in the cornflakes. I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Or something like that. Mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy.

smurfy Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 those cabins look like palaces compared to some of the houses i've seen on the reservations up nort. when my parents first bought the cabin back in 65..........it was propane lites and frig and a 2 burner fuel oil stove. we carried our own drinking water and 5 galloned pails of lake water for dishes etc........then we carried the slop water out in 5 gal pails!!!!!!! still do some of it.

RebelSS Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 A 'fridge!!! Luxury livin'! Means electricity.....why propane lights then? We had to "cooler it" those three days. Didn't matter, one entire day was out on the water for 8 hours for the contest. (Once you came in or docked, you were finished) That nite was drinks and dinner at Bann's Supper Club...

Big Dave2 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 My F-I-L in the picture is probably about your age Del. We stay in this place for grouse and deer season and he thinks it is the best place on earth. No electricity, no running water, need a chainsaw and 4 wheel drive to get to it, and heated by a home made wood stove.

delcecchi Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Whatever. Yeah I would have stayed, but like I said, if mama ain't happy.... I offered to drive her back to Rochester and then come back in a few weeks.... Didn't go over to well. 11 hours ago, Big Dave2 said: heated by a home made wood stove. Let him do it with no heat....
