One man’s wilderness (43 page)

Moonlit cabin under a snow mantling. Snowshoes ready to go
.

Fire’s cheery flame glows within the facade of varicolored stones, which were collected from up and down both sides of the lakes. The cast of the wolf track above the orange stone in the arch measures 7″ × 5″
.

Hiking through a world that appeared to grow snow feathers. Soundless and motionless
.

Dick’s pantry displaying his crafted accessories. Everything shipshape
.

Ready for company with double bunks mattressed with foam rubber pads. A handy cabinet. Beach gravel floor
.

Stove corner emanates order. Pots and skillets hanging from spruce pegs. A utility table. Everything has its place
.
