Awesome thread. I may have missed it, what did you finish your interior wood with? I'm getting ready to put up a bunch of tongue and groove pine on a ceiling. I would like to finish it in the basement but want to avoid fumes...

Your place is outstanding!

I used waterbased polyurethane. No fumes

That cabin reminds me of my father's axe... two new heads and three new handles, but still the same old axe. You have made a beautiful place!

Thanks everyone for the comments. Still going thru some of the old photos.
This one is my favorite of all. My father and cousin. just looks cool

Me and my father back in 85

A record the the catskills in the early 70s

This is more like it

Snowshoe rabbit hunting, never killed a thing

amazing how fast it gets overgrown

What the kitchen looked like in the 80s

This kept us warm for many years but it used a lot of wood

KP duty

Another 80s view, This is how I fixed up the place when I got involved with my friends using it for fishing and snowmobiling. Notice the wall with the old siding, thats the actual side of the old cabin looking in from the addition

Another oldie, thats my fathers Jeep FC (foward control)

Some card playing after a day of hunting

Heading out to hunt, I'm driving, brother in back and my cousin next to me

Native brook trout from the pond

My father and 9 friends stayed in this little cabin for 10 days every yr during the season, no bathroom, water or shower

My father was also a pilot these are from him flying over

The outhouse falling apart. wish it was still there

Comparing fish with my older brother, mine was bigger

There are better ones but I didn't want to get thrown off the forum

You are so fortunate to have all of those great old memories and still have the property and the jeep. Those are some great old pictures of the good times!

Looks like it wasn't set up for the ladies in the family with all of the pin-ups on the walls

Awesome awesome awesome! Love the video, pics, history and place. Gives me hope of being able to do something meaningful on a small place someday

You are very lucky that someone in the past had the good idea to take pictures. Thanks for posting.

This thread is a wonderful trip down memory lane. I just love the red plaid - back then that was the camo worn.

I doubt you could ever know how many users love this thread. Your jeep restoration is one long problem solving journey.

We need to figure out an award for the cabin and jeep. Thanks for letting the rest of us ride along and enjoy.
