We decided not to let the spring thaw deter us from visiting the cabin (this was a while ago.) It's actually supposed to be the best time of year to catch big trout on Cascade Reservoir, and Karen had to visit her student in McCall anyway.
The road to the cabin this time of year sucks. The drive is like living a promo video for Subaru. We tried both north and south routes and determined that they are equally sucky. At least the views are nice!
We attempted fishing at the church camp area near the cabin. We had the place all to ourselves, mostly because it's not a good bank fishing spot. By the time we decided to abort and move somewhere else both of the kids were wet, cold, and ready to head back to the cabin. We did manage to scout some better-looking spots for next year though.
The animals are starting to return to the area, as evidenced by the goose tracks behind Elena. We saw a few deer and lots of sandhill cranes. The snow is melting fast and I think we will be able to walk or drive pretty much anywhere around the cabin next time we head up.
