It has been a colorful autumn on the Trail but all good things must end and our temperatures will be in the 20's on Friday night. To avoid freezing lines, we have now closed all the summer cabins. We wash all the bedding one final time and bag it up for the spring. We check everything out in the cabins and make what repairs we can and make lists for what we want to do in the spring. Mike drains the hot water heaters and all the water lines to the cabins, turns off the propane to the cabins and shuts down the electric. Once the cabins are closed, the lake water system is closed down and all the lines drained. We bag about 20 bales of straw in large trash bags and spread those around the resort to add insulation to the septic system just in case we don't get a good snow cover to keep those lines from freezing. The phots are of Mike working on closing cabin 1.
The lodge will be open through this weekend and then starting October 5th after our last guests check out, we are closed for the season. By the end of next week Mike and Peggy will be heading back to OH and Lynn to Indiana. Erik is going to visit family and friends and then will be working this winter as a dog sled guide at White Wilderness in Ely.
