I have never seen this video of this cabin until now. What a wonderful trip down memory lane - love the song being part of it.
When I was young in the 1960's I got a chance to hunt at a cabin a cousin built with my dad and other guys between my age and my dad's age. Those memories are priceless.
John I would love to know who your dad was in photos and who you were in photo. Is the jeep we see the one you are restoring?
I build a hunting cabin in 1990 in the middle of the woods - you couldn't drive to it. I had to tear it down in 2014 due disrepair and my father-in-law wanted it gone. My son was 11 when I built it and 36 when I tore it down.
Hunting cabins are a love of mine. Thanks for sharing your video. It made my day!

This is my father with the Jeep I'm restoring
Me and my father
However we are not as handsome now (this picture is about 5 yrs old)
John - I am glad you are continuing on with your thread. You have a lot of history with that place and I think it is great that you have all of those memories with your dad from there...keep it up!

This is 1969 right after my father built it
I'm guessing 1975 ish he built a foundation next to the cabin and pulled it on with his pickup, then an addition was built
As my father got older he lost interest and it sat many years without using, this is what it looked like when I took it over around 1999
the back wall was falling out almost a ft and the roof was starting to fall in

What she looks like now after many yrs of sweat. I made the log siding out of 2x6 doug fir and my molding machine
as you can see the foundation was never prepped properly and it fell apart. my father built one out of railroad ties. now i'm fighting with a moving cabin and its not fun
