Cabin Lake a.k.a. My Future Home

This weekend was incredible! It started with a quick stay at a cabin completely off grid an hour past Whitehorse, YT.

This oasis, known as Cabin Lake, had no electricity, no running water, and not even a door for the outhouse! However, I assure you, even if you love all of the above commodities, the cabin would have stolen your heart.

I was serious about the outhouse! 

Cabin Lake faces a beautifully still lake that appears the loveliest shade of emerald in the late summer sun. Honestly, the piercing contrast between the deep blue sky and the green mirror beneath it was one of the most breathtaking scenes I've encountered yet.

Better than that though, is the beautifully decorated cabin and it's cozy two bedroom accommodations-- both rooms have low windows that allow beautiful views.
I was in heaven tucked into my bed, by the wood stove, watching the midnight sun dim through the window this little log cabin!

I have been convinced that I need to buy this property and live out the rest of my life on that lake.

The only place I want to lay my head at night. 

I.A.

I've been in the North for a month now and I've discovered that the Yukon is actually just the land of Introverts Anonymous.

Everyone I've met here is in love with the idea of living off grid, being able to decide when and how much contact they have with the world, and taking joy in nature's solitude.  My theory is that the locals' ability to be alone makes them friendlier (I've never met such friendly people in my entire life).  We all get together once and a while and discuss our latest adventures then separate to our own log cabins and consider how we hope no more people discover the gem that is the Yukon. 

And let me tell you, this particular way of living is incredibly romantic-- if I'm not careful, I may just be seduced by it.  If my inner introvert isn't sold on the lifestyle, I think Mother Nature might be able to convince the rest of me to fall head over heels with a place that is nothing but North of ordinary.
