It had turned out to be a wonderful summer. The flies, the bears and the arthritis all seemed to stay away and really weren't much trouble at all. The fishing had been incredible. He managed to finish another Hemingway while she worked on her painting...she was getting quite good at it. Their old friends Mardy and Olaus were able to stop by and spent a night on their way back down to Wyoming. And for the first time, all of the grandchildren were able to visit. That was the best.
The oldest son was now back with the Beaver...made it in just after the early snow. He'd spend this last night helping them secure the cabin for winter. Except for the canoe, the airplane was loaded and ready for the trip out. One more Alaskan supper with the folks and, more reluctantly than ever, they'd be leaving in the morning.
