View from the SW end of lake
This view, from around 1956, shows the area now occupied by the boat ramp. In those days it had an abandoned cabin there.
15.11-1-7 before Boathouse
Before my Dad had the Boathouse built on our lot, this is what the South side of the lake looked like. Colornel Gridley owned the adjacent camp.
15.11-1-8 before Steven's Cabin
This is what the plot to the west of ours looked like before Rosie Stevens moved her cabin from the point near the SW corner of the lake.
Muller Cabin from SW
This photo demonstrates how the woods around Sixberry have evolved over the last 65 years or so. Back then, it was early succession trees: Aspen, Birch, Ironwood and other "weed" trees.
Muller Cabin in 1954
The small pine trees in the foreground of this picture were planted by William Cowans, the prior owner of the property. Today they are towering pines!
Muller Cabin, probably 1955
The pines are barely noticeable in this picture, but today they dominate the scene. The Aspen and Birch are mostly gone. The tarpaper roof has been replaced with shingles - twice.
Early Dock, and Boat on south side
My Dad's first design for a dock on the south side. It lasted for almost a decade and served us well. Each fall we would pull it out, of course.
Rowing across the lake
We got a 3.5 horsepower outboard but sometimes rowed, anyway. Mr. Cowans has always rowed across. This view is of the south side of the lake from our jetty,
Early version of jetty, with tires
We built a jetty in front of the cabin, and docked the boat there. Many winters the ice-out would modify it a bit, but it's still there today.
