  I am very far behind in writing about our trip.  We have been back a month now and I am just getting to our 5th day.  Breakfast was pancakes, fruit,  granola and yogurt.  The group was going on a hike that was a bit above our energy level so our guide took us on a boat ride.  What a boat ride it was!  We rode up the lake and got out at a stop where we walked and examined many plants,  signs of wildlife but no bears!   Back in the boat.  We stopped at a cabin  that was built and maintained by the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.  We stopped for lunch.  What a view.  Even had an outhouse!!   And clean and not smelly.
    The Doroshin Bay cabin is a one room log cabin built of spruce logs.  The only access is by boat or sea plane. It is a public use cabin.
     When we got back to the lodge,  Jon and I took hot showers and took a nap!   Dinner is next!  
    Dinner was excellent.  We had pork that was so tender it could be cut with a butter knife,  polenta which was nice and creamy,   vegetables and chocolate chip bundt cake with poppy seeds.  
    We had an evening program – Kevin Blackstone showed slides of the history of the back country lodge.  Afterwards some went to have a campfire but we went to bed.   We slept great all night – no bathroom trips at all!
