Labor Day Weekend

This past weekend we went out to Red Shirt Lake.  We'd rented a public use cabin in Nancy Lake State Recreation area.  We hiked out to the lake, which was about a 3 mile hike, and then we hopped into a canoe and canoed out to our cabin.  Banjo did surprisingly really well in the canoe.  Going our the first time we gave him a bone filled with peanut butter to keep him occupied.  He later dropped it into the lake.  

The cabin was pretty rustic.  It had "beds", which were just plywood frames and a very thin foam pad.  During the day we canoed around the lake and wondered around our cabin collecting firewood.  There really weren't a whole lot of places we could go to, because there weren't any trails or anything.  We had fun cooking on the fire though.  

At one point a porcupine wondered into our camp and Banjo pounced after it and chased it.  We kept yelling at him  and couldn't get him to come back.  Fortunately the porcupine ran up a tree without quilling the dog.  

I'll post some pictures soon.  We had such good weather.  It was great!
