Royce’s Outpost Cabin Rental

So you may have experienced water filling up in the tub and not draining as it should here and I finally have the answer and a solution.
There were two dry wells (55gal drums) in the yard that collapsed. One has now been removed but the other is still there because, well, I live here right now and it’s being used. So Thursday the other gets removed and the lines to the bathtub and bathroom sink will be rerouted to the septic line. That should resolve that issue.

Down the road from Lumberman’s Monument near Oscoda is a parking area for Iargo Springs. I say parking area and not the springs because they are way down by the Au Sable River. It is about 300 steps down to the springs but it is worth the effort. It is a beautiful secluded area covered in tall trees with the water flowing over rocks and logs down to the river. If you are ever in the area and you can make the trip down the stairway and back up again ( I had to rest a few times) be sure to see the Iargo Springs.

If you love exploring Michigan or reading about its strange and historic places, I hope you will take a look at Lost In Michigan books available on Amazon HERE https://amzn.to/415b9Dn

I LOVE perma-log. My other cabin (O Me O Mio) is done in brown “logs” but I’m thinking of something like this for this cabin. Thoughts??

The Aurora has been highly active lately. Usually you are unable to see with the naked eye. Easy remedy, point your phone camera to the north sky horizon and take a picture set at 10s. (That is shutter speed for those who aren’t familiar.) There are Aurora groups you can join on Facebook that will help guide you on when might be best to see them. At times they can be seen (through camera) in southern Michigan with right conditions and a very dark sky. See comments for my recent pics in Kalkaska from my backyard.

A daily update by email. Science news, great photos, sky alerts.

The weekend of 7/22-7/24/22 was a perfect night to see the Northern Lights. Did you know there is a dark sky park in Mackinaw City for viewing the sky?? Headlands International Dark Sky Park is approximately 2 hr drive from the cabin. I decided to go all the way up to Lake Superior (a 3.5 hr drive) to grab these shots. The cool thing is that I couldn’t see this with the naked eye. I could only see it taking a picture with the camera on my phone.

Was in the area this weekend and decided to get some updated pics of the AuSable River. It was a beautiful night and the river was so peaceful just before the canoe marathoners cut through the area. Have you tubed, canoed or kayaked the river?? Tell me your favorite memories.
