THE CABIN

This cabin is on our lower 10 acres that we purchased in 2002.  It has one room with a wood stove and solar power.   On the backside there is a deck accessible through a sliding door.  The water supply is collected from the roof and stored in a 2500 gallon tank.    We had a 16 foot travel trailer that was parked near the cabin to provide us with a kitchen and bathroom.   We would spend the night here once a week after driving from our home in Cottage Grove, until we purchased the upper 10 acres with a manufactured home in 2006.   Depending on the season, we would either sleep in the cabin in the winter where it was warm, or in the trailer during the summer because it was cooler.   In the early spring mornings, as the sun was rising the song birds were so loud that it was impossible to sleep any longer.    Our days involved clearing brush, cutting scotch broom, propagating native plants, cutting firewood and relaxing in the heat afternoons.   

Maybe now I should rent it out as a rustic living experience on weekends where people provide their own bed and breakfast.
