The Creek

The Creek
This creek wraps itself around the 38 acres of lower camp and defines the border. Acres of hills, lowlands, a bluff, and a meadow. Up from the creek a bit the camp continues with 20 acres of high ridge leading to over 100 acres of deep pine forest, brooks, and marsh.All of it lies in the middle of a 1200 acre woods. Walk north and you're in 6 million Adirondack acres. Bring a camera, you might just see moose, bear, coyote or deer here. Cross the creek and you're in my mini-camp, with guest cabin and road access.

May and June

The trees went from bare to a lush green as the temperatures at the camp rose. The work goes on but is slowly wrapping up. Wiring at the main camp is in, along with lights, ceiling fan, etc., all powered by three 200Watt solar panels and a 5K Watt power inverter. The spring box, once filled with branches and salamanders, is clean and covered. The water pump and 12V battery, though temporarily rigged, has pumped water 600ft to the holding tank at the cabin. The septic tank and leaching field are scheduled to be installed this month. That means electric and plumbing will be nearly complete and the with all the "creature comforts" available, our stays will be more comfortable.
This is what it's all about!

The doors were made up to look like barn doors. The results were great.

I'm wondering how to best cover the bottom weatherproofing in the front of the cabin. A row a various shrubs should look better. I started with a few of these but will add a different variety as well.


305 gallons of water storage, slated to be dug in this month.
