1994: The "CABIN", later christened "THE LUUUUV SHACK"

Back to some history.  I was looking for pictures from the first five years  (1988 to 1993) and was very surprised at how few there were.  On reflection, I realized  it probably was due to the following two factors:
1)  No digital cameras yet (we owned a 20 pound Minolta 35mm, which we likely did not think to include in packing for a trip to the bush)
2) The arrival of Kevin in 1991.. probably not too keen on bringing a baby in diapers to a place with no running water, heat or electricity.
A few years later we saw the necessity and had the means to buy a solid structure to put on the property. Mike went to Kazacabana, in, of course, Kazabazua, and picked out a 14 x 10 cedar cabin that was slid into place in May of  1994.  Four years later when we moved down the road to the "cottage", the "cabin" was christened by me as the "Luuuuuv shack" as we tended to send our couple friends down the road to the private, cozy cabin.. (you know who you are :)
