Shawnigan

For better or better, we bought some land on Shawnigan Lake with Nana. The cabin needs, ahem, a little bit of work. The land has some challenges. And we are not sure if we will catch much sun. 

BUT WE LOVE IT!!!!

We are so smitten with this spot we have found. 

Chill out on the deck, anyone?

We have already explored the land in late Winter (our neighbour was snowed in for 7 days!).

And came back in April for some early camping.
The ground is rough enough that we went for a suspended tent.

The outhouse is dodgy enough that we carved out a "window". At least now we can see the spiders and snakes while getting on with business.

We have worked hard to prepare a spot for a ground tent too. That is about 12 wheelbarrows of mulch from a tree up the driveway in an attempt to smooth out some ground.

Rocket thinks he is king of the castle, up on his rock.

Nana has a plan to live on the dock, we think, until the premises are in better shape!

 
 Glen has already had first dip off the dock.

 A bit chilly at this time of year, but great fires to stay warm.

 

 Yay for Team Rob-How and all of our family and friends whom we hope will join us for summers at the lake. We feel very excited and lucky!
