The front glass was installed 25 years ago by Bud and I. It was 15 degrees and snowing but we got the two center panels installed in one day.
Early last year the crack started, not bad for 25 years of hot and cold with an occasional bird strike.
The 12" crack showed itself in February and began to grow.
No worries here since the glass was cracked on the outside of the 1/4" laminated safety plate. Lami' will not fall apart (windshield glass).
By July of this year, the crack was about 7' long and growing at about 3" per month. Click on the pictures for more detail.
An old friend from Vegas and his buddy brought me a new piece of glass and installed it.
This piece of glass is 4ft by 10ft in size. I didn't remember the size being as difficult to handle as it is.
My custom hoist to lift the glass into place (110 lbs) was scoffed at and the three of us just lifted it into place.
All new trim and the job was done correctly. Remove and Replace in six hours.
Thanks Guys!!!
After a year and one half, fresh trout for dinner!!
The lake is only 20 minutes
to actual fishing in the boat. I've got this down to a science.
We have the five minute fish and the the 20 minute fish. You release the five minute fish to irritate any unseen watchers and the 20 minute goes on the stringer.
Today was 6 Rainbows in 90 minutes. Three came home for dinner.........
This is the high speed "vintage fishing equipment". A Jeep Cherokee and a 1957 Lonestar 14 1/2' boat.
I bought the Lonestar in about 1983 and it never fails to catch fish!
These accessories go with the cabin if it ever sells.

In the early spring, the wild turkeys begin moving back up the mountains to nest and breed. They travel down in the fall and back up each spring.
This group is herded by the first Tom I have seen and definitely the biggest showoff in the group.
Here they are trucking up my driveway (10 total).
And then...........old Tom (the camera showoff) turns around and comes back in front of the camera.....Did he see it???? naw
And shows his stuff!!! Tell me he didn't see the camera..........Tell me again!!!!
Fall is in the air, but very warm this year. The maples are turning in the canyon, they change color by time of year and not by temperature as I always assumed.
There are about four miles of maples that are located in areas of underground water.
This is quite the sight every fall and actually lasts about three weeks and then its over.
As the year progresses, the trout fatten up and become more active. Three months under the ice stresses them (and me!!) but the summer months allow a nice recovery.
This is an ample meal and fresh Rainbows are perfect for dinner. I fish the lake into late November. Actually amazing fishing in a snowstorm.
Great fishing 15 minutes from the cabin.
The custom cutting board comes with the cabin!
2930 Red Creek Canyon Road, Utah
At the time I decided to place the Cabin up for sale, the finish on the metal roof had begun to fail. These are painted galvanized roofs and do not deteriorate except for the finish.
I had a new roof installed with a 30 year finish warranty. The first one had a 10 year warranty and lasted 18 years. The snow slips so much faster now.
The vistas in the mountains are amazing.........
If you have an interest in this cabin on 26 acres, give me a call and see if it is still available. 702 275 3017
The other acreage is also available from me direct at this time.
This is the 26th of June and a Cicada hatch has been going on at "The Lake" for about 2 weeks. I have never seen this before and its much larger in scope than the grasshopper hatch next month.
I needed fresh trout for dinner so up we go to the lake at about 7:30 AM and its wild. This fish are surface feeding wildly.
In 20 minutes I have dinner.....
And for the next hour, I catch and release nine more of the same. All on lures so the fish are uninjured. Watching the Cicadas, they last about 60 seconds on the water before they are consumed. It doesn't get much nicer than this!
For some reason my Utah getaway is for sale?? and if you are interested, give me a call 702 275 3017.
