Cattail in the Snow

We came prepared for snow, and were surprised the first afternoon we got out to Cattail to find the weather balmy, which was nice for measuring the property. However, when we returned the next day for a serious hike, it was very cold and windy. We hiked up to the five-boled tree (on the way to the mica mine), and on the return trip it started to snow heavily, giving us a wonderful winter view of the cabins (see the picture in this blog’s header) and the creek when we returned. The picture above is the famous view upstream from the breezeway, and the first picture below is of Charlie Rathbone’s old house across the creek just below the Bathtub. The 2nd picture below is of Cabin 2 and Cabin 1. We were really thrilled to be able to see the cabins while it was snowing heavily, as this gave us a good feel of what it will be like to live at Cattail in the winter.
