This year has been quiet up north for us with only a few visits. Our boys are getting older, which makes things a little busier for us. We did get a few weeks up north this summer. And in June, out of the blue, we decided to build a deck. After breakfast we drove to the nearest big town, Gaylord, purchased the materials, came back and built a deck. It's 12x12.The "ghetto" part of me thought I could eventually put walls, a roof and make a three seasons room attached to my camper. Just to create more gathering space on rainy days. Our goal is to someday build a few small cabins, so I'm not sure that is the best idea in the long run. But this is working for now.
We spent about $300.00 in material. It has helped cut down the amount of dirt we track into the camper.
We've only been able to make it up 2 or 3 times since we built this. It was wonderful sitting out on the deck in the cool fall morning, staring off into the woods. We are heading up this coming week for deer season and looking forward to hanging out by the fire pit. Hopeful one of my sons or myself will get a deer. Until next time.
