Sullivans Report on Hawkinson Hunting Lodge

For those of you who don't know, Uncle Mark purchased a Finlander Estate 30 miles north of Hibbing. On the property are 10 buildings including a sauna, bunk house (main lodge), trailer house, well house, mini barn (doll house), tool shed and other buildings that we just can't come up with a name for.

Hunting party consists of: Mark Hawkinson, Andy Heim and Mark Hawkinson.



First deer was shot on the Hawkinson property using Grandpa Krumwiede's gun. This was the first deer this particular gun has ever shot, oddly enough, within the first hour of hunting.








Main Lodge








Mark, inside of Main Lodge complete with heat, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, bunk beds, table, chairs, and futon. All the comforts of home including running water (except you have to "run" for the water). (Uncle Charlie's joke.)






We will admit that the land is beautiful!

No offense to anyone, but I am thinking those hunting jackets look a little too clean. Daddy's and Grandpa's never looked like that! Remember when they wore the red wool, before the "orange" fad? The picture of Matt looks like a lot of our childhood pictures. Why did they bring we little girls out to get their picture by the dead carcasses each year? Great place, Mark. Hugo Rantala would approve.
