Two Snow-bound Days In A Drafty Cabin

Ann and I just spent two days in a drafty, snow-covered cabin at Lake Murray State Park. The getaway seemed like a good idea when the temps were in the 70s: A lakeside cabin, not many others around. But alas, our plans went south as fast as the cold front. We arrived Wednesday mid-afternoon, temp in the 60s and light rain. By nightfall, the temp was in the 30s and thunderstorms boomed, the rain poured. By Thursday, it was ice and sleet and stiff winds. By Thursday night, it was snow, bone-chilling cold and iced-up roads. The cabin we stayed in was drafty (as in daylight could be seen around the front door), ill-maintained and dirty (as in cobwebs hanging in the bathroom). I was disappointed. For the nightly off-season rate I paid ($88 plus tax) for the cabin, it was too much by double. Doubt we'll visit the place again.
