Lake Eva Cabin Mother's Day 2013

Michael and I got taken to Lake Eva yesterday via Harris Air in the Beaver float plane. If you have never been in a float plane I highly recommend you add it to your bucket list. This was my first time and will not be my last. We actually came home and booked the cabin again for June 8 & 9th for our anniversary. The cabin was wonderful. Rustic but very comfortable. There is a small boat for guests to use and if you don't bring a motor like we did there are oars so you can row. The motor was nice. :) This cabin is new, it replaced an old one in 2011. It is handicap ready so it has a wonderful deck that also leads to the outhouse. There was a log book in the cabin that you can write your experience's in and it went back to 2007. Was fun to read. We added our adventure to it also. Was told that there doesn't seem to be a bear problem , of everyone that wrote in the log only one person had seen a bear.  We didn't either. Saw some poop and that was enough for me. Yes we took 2 guns with us anyway. lol Michael tried his hand at some fishing but after being unsuccessful we decided the water is still to cold and they were hiding on the bottom. Some beavers came out to play last night and they were fun to mess with. Beautiful birds were aplenty and the view spectacular.
On the way there we also tagged along past our lake to drop a customer off at the Baranof Wilderness Lodge so we got a quick tour of that. Beautiful also and the hot springs are there. Will have to put it on our bucket list. LOL
