Great cabin.
Arrived to find some firewood but didn’t want to leave the next users without so spent the early afternoon cutting. Took a hike over to and across Anertz lake. Lots of Wolf tracks.
Early evening we were approached by a Fish and Wildlife officer. Very nice guy, great conversation.
Couldn’t have had a better birthday than spending it at this cabin with my son.

Great introductory cabin! We loved our time here. Got down to -25 during our stay but we stayed cozy with the wood burning stove.

Ice was 7" the whole way, made it with no problems. Bow saw was missing. Otherwise no issues, great trip as usual.
