What an excellent adventure. Thank you all for making this trip so memorable. Many things stand out in my mind from this weekend. The food at Howard & Carol's was fantastic. I had never seen the dinner menu before since we have always been in-and-out early in the morning. Food was top noth. And the New Years dinner everyone helped sling together was a feast, especially the Crab and caviar.

The snow conditions were great. We scoured many trails across frozen Lang Lake almost to Little Bear. We rode some of the trails to lakes North of the camp which winded through marshes, over hills and through the woods. Blast.

The hottub was a real treat. I spent many hours over the long weekend slowly stewing in the tub. It was best when we had the tub packed with all 10 of us at once. "Hey, whose foot is this??".

Julie sent her photos already. Take a look.

Cheesy Dip
Go Up

For those of you who asked for it, here is the Cheesy Dip recipe! Ingredients:

1 can Campbell's Chilli Beef soup
1 can Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup
1 pound Monterey Jack Cheese
1 pound browned ground beef (optional)

Combine soups (cold, directly out of can) and cubed Monterey Jack cheese in casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees until melted (about one half-hour) stirring, and "tasting" with chips, as needed! Add browned ground beef, if desired, and bake another ten minutes. Enjoy with tortilla chips, preferably during a victorius Green Bay Packer's Football Game!

 

Snow
Go Up

I spoke to Carol Acton at Lang Lake today.  She told me the lakes are frozen and they have 6 inches of snow on the ground with more forecasted for Sunday.  She sounds very optimistic about great snowmobile conditions for our visit!  Keep thinking cold.

Weather Report from Sudbury

UP Michigan Sledding Report

December 7, 1:00pm
There will be sledding this weekend!! Heavy to moderate amounts of snow in the snowbelt regions of the Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan. This is largely lake effect snow so amounts will vary and best conditions will be found in northwest lower Michigan and the Lake Superior snowbelts of the Upper Peninsula. You'll probably find early season base problems.

Also remember most lakes ARE NOT frozen! Stay off lakes. Happy Holidays!!!!

Food
Go Up

Todd and Elyse are planning a special New Years Dinner. They are preparing Crab legs, red skins, and clam chowder. They request that everyone else bring a dish to serve which could include a salad, fruit, bread, champagne, veggies, steamers, appetizers, shrimp, white russian supplies, etc.

Toad is planning on bringing up sandwich stuff for our lunches. We all need to help contribute food for lunches and snacks. We do not want to buy these supplies over the border... they will probably be more expensive in Espanola. So, lets start sending email to let everyone know what you are going to bring. The cabins are fully stocked with full kitchen and stove/oven.

 

Gift Exge
Go Up

 We are also going to do a white rabbit gift exchange. Please plan on bringing two $5 gifts each. They can be anything from the ridiculous to meaningful. We will draw numbers and then swap gifts. Ask Elyse for details... I have never seen this done before but it sounds fun.

Reminder
Go Up

If you send an email to snow@burntcabin.org, everyone will receive the message.

Plan on finding your own helmet. If you need a helmet, please send email to snow. Some of us have access to extras.

Questions, send email ---- lets all do our part to dance for snow and cold. I will talk to Howard this weekend for confirmation of plans and a snow report from Lang Lake.
