It was summer 2009 when we found kayaking selves wind bound on the beach at Jackfish Bay on Lake Superior. As we walked around the old Jackfish Village, abandoned since the 1950's, we found many treasures including building foundations, beach glass and the odd black fly. Later on our hike we took a moment to sit on the deck of a cabin and have a look out over the lake to St. Patrick's island. Low and behold the cabin was for sale - and a couple of months later it was ours.

I spent many a pieceful summer at that 'cabin'. My grandparents built it many many years ago. How lovely to see this picture.
