I love going to the cabin on Anderson Lake to get away from the city for a few days.. but it is also BIG WORK. We drive along a logging road for about 20 minutes, after a 3 hour drive from Vancouver, and then hike in carrying all of our weekends 'stuff' for a mile down the railway track to our cabin. This is good exercise, and a nice way to make the switch from city to bush living, but it makes it difficult if we have forgotten anything ...like I forgot the sheets for the beds. Ooops. And Alex (my son) forgot our plumbing parts to fix the water system (so we got water from a hose linked to a faucet outside the cabin). Only 2 dead mice on arrival inside, and no bats that we could see. This is a first, as usually we have to convert the cabin from a bat-house back to our living space, which, believe me, is not fun.
Why do we do all of this? Look for yourself... at the view... and NO CARS for 4 whole days!!!! And, it's good family time; no cell phones, no computers, and lots of talk. And the stars (thousands of them) are a bit of magic ... only possible outside the bright lights of the city.
