Louis’ grandma has a cabin near St. Croix State Forest by the Wisconsin-Minnesota border. We went up for the first time in November, and Louis proposed another trip to come up last weekend.
The cabin is really different in the winter. You can see through the trees. The river is different. There’s less noise. The cabin is on a peninsula, and it’s much more apparent with a longer line of sight. We were treated with really good weather: high 20s both days.

We left after dinner on Friday night. I was trying to cook pasta as fast as possible but it’s a hard process to speed up.

Don’t know where or how I took this picture but I like it.

We wanted to make hot chocolate upon arrival but only had cocoa powder from 2014. We took the risk anyways and poured a couple tablespoons of sugar in. It was not terrible.

The lack of snow coverage worries me and the fact that I can’t remember the last colder than average winter disturbs me
