"I don't think you tire of beauty - I just don't think that happens."

Nebraska's Mark Schanbacher describes why he has returned to Mosher Lake every year since the late 1990s.

"You get some of the most beautiful sunsets and the colours are just amazing. Then there's the wildlife; the bears, the moose, the eagles fighting…"

Of course the Northern fishing is a special attraction for Schanbacher's yearly group which includes family and friends, what really makes it special is the "environment that you catch it in."

There are a number of reasons Schanbacher has returned faithfully to Mosher; the beauty, isolation and the short flight. The advantages of a 15 minute flight, he says are that for those prone to motion sickness--it is short enough to lessen that likelihood, and weather conditions are less likely to impede scheduled arrivals or departures.

Located 23 miles northeast of Kashabowie Outposts air base, Mosher Lake has helped in the creation of some family memories--from tipping a boat, (with a little help from a brother who's "not on the extremely coordinated side.") to cliff jumping for the kids.

Of the three-bedroom cabin that comfortably holds 10, Schanbacher notes, "They're very nice accommodations. I think most people are surprised when they get there, by the quality of the accommodations." (The cabin also offers solar-powered lights, hot and cold running water, shower, cooking stove with oven, refrigerator, with barbeque and fish cooker available.)

Alongside the cabin, a gazebo offers the perfect view of the lake--framed by rocky shoreline and granite cliffs.

Schanbacher admits that Mosher Lake is almost a secret he likes to keep to himself, because of a feeling of ownership he feels about his times at Mosher.

"When you're there, you feel like it's your lake. For one week, you have it all to yourself. There's no other cabins, no news…nothing, so the world just passes you by. Your whole universe is that lake. It's a great escape."
