Flat Lake north shore cabin for sale by Trent 6/30/08


Black bear, north shore, Flat Lake 6/25/08 - LT
Keep your cabin clean and doors secure!
See the black bear video here.

6/8/08 - Had a report from my son that there was a black bear and cubs on my deck this morning. North Shore between Bailey's and Von Hoomison's. Didn't break in but came up to the door.
Alan Piccard

6/8/08 - Same bears visited Greg, Wendy, and Ryan Gursey's cabin (Oswald's) as well. Keep your garbage tidy. In a few more weeks they'll head down to the streams to go fishing. - LT

6/9/08 - Same bear pried up the lid of our metal garbage can last week. We reinforced the lid and have not had a reoccurrence. - Larry Taylor

6/18/08 - I got a surprise on Wednesday when I heard clomping on the deck and looked up to see the bear walking across it. I yelled "bear," and it ran off the deck and through the woods. Amazingly, both of my visiting sisters got to see it running away. It's good that it ran. US Fish and Wildlife biologists say to make sure to let bears know that they are not welcome around cabins; make a lot of noise and scare them. - Larry Taylor

Hi
I have an oil stove that works with a 55 gallon tank free. It is on Flat Lake. If anyone is interested call 230 -1904.
Thanks

Loon and Iris on Flat Lake 6/29/08


Loons may still be nesting through the 4th of July weekend, and two families have each hatched two chicks. Please be careful or we eventually will have no loons calling out, just like many Wasilla lakes. When you are within 150 feet (about nine car lengths) of shore, don't make a wake
