Another view of camp. Foreground building is ice house, with double-thick walls about 18-24" thick, insulated with sawdust. In March, we cut ice in big blocks from the dredge pond and hook a cable to the "cat." We could drag the ice to the ice house to keep fresh meats well into summer. Clear into July, the cook made ice cream for us, "and if that wasn't a treat for us out there at camp. Against the back of the cookhouse, we had a big box-like tank mounted up quite high. That is where we kept the water to keep the pressure for use when it came down into the use of the cook.
