This one is for Gigi. This is the rat shack (hunting camp) I was talking about. You can't see all of it, but it was where the guys would go during hunting season to get their deer. I believe this is my Grandfather in the photo; not quite sure. This was taken way up north in The Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Perhaps Sinatra and the rest of "The Rat Pack," joined them there Alex.
Good scan of an old photo.

The rat shack is of solid log construction. Your grandpa (if he is) had been fishing somewhere nearby I suppose. The nature everywhere was much more healthier those days!

Some jobs sound unsavoury...but I guess these had to be done then!....

Some memories in this one for you

Alex, think that your grandfather(?) is busy to prepare to smoke the caught fishes.
I'm not sure, but think the, on the image written, date is 1920. If so, the image is still in a remarkable good condition.
Thanks for sharing this piece of history, my friend!

The boots are called "swampers" up there.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
