We found out that the cabin had belonged to a man by the name of Charlie Cook. He was the last survivor of an Indian tribe that lived across the lake. Charlie was a medicine man. It looks like he lived without any plumbing or electricity. Very thrifty man!
When we first stopped to look at the cabin, we found lots of poison ivy and leeches in the water. There also was a big lock on the front door of the cabin. Eventually I took a peek in the house.
It appears from outside as if this man's life had been left behind, we could see old bank statements and Christmas cards on the floor and an old calender on the wall that probably had not been turned since Charlie passed away.
It was cool to see a piece of history like this. It wouldn't have been possible without the kayak as I would not have swam across the lake filled with leeches. This was an amazing adventure for me.
Peace Out!
