This was the cabin I lived in with my mom when we moved a mile away from the cabin we'd lived in with my godmother for about a decade:


This is the place now (with my uncle's place in the background, one of the few which survived):




The well's pump house survived, though!

I'm sorry t. That's a shame.

ACK!!!!!!!!! *hugs*

What Cygbro and The Hairy One said...

I am doing okay. Just so weird to think of all the homes gone (I lived in three cabins in the area) and I feel soooooooooooooooooooooooo badly for the people who were still living there and lost their homes and all their things. I also feel badly about the history that was lost with many of the cabins. One was a speakeasy during the prohibition days and later a hang out for movie stars, for example.

*hugs t*

hey at least the pump house survivied!...it is shitty when things from the past arnt there anymore...Ive lived through that and so will you

This is the second of the cabins that I grew up in that burnt. The first one burnt a few years back because the people who bought it didn't really think it was important to clean the stove pipe--until they woke up one night to a wall in flames.
So, yeah, I live and life goes on. Just a bummer I can't go visit them anymore.

I have not been around. t, what happened? I'm so sorry but it looks like you lost a family home! I'm just picking up a couple threads. If something devastating happened I'm so sorry and wish to help!

Hey Kares! Nice to see you, Girl! ((((((((Kares))))))))

What happened was a large part of the national forest I grew up in burned and one out of three of the cabins in the area I had lived in were destroyed. The area seemingly heaviest hit was the road I lived on for the longest time, both homes there I lived in were burnt, and of the 14 or 15 that had been there when I moved up here in '92, only two remain.

For me the only real tragedy is the loss of ability to go back and see the places again and show my kids homes I loved and some historical cabins. The loss is much greater for those who still lived there, especially those who had been there since the early 70s.

The owner of the property across the road directly to the west of us has decided to parcel out his land and sell it. He has loggers taking all salable lumber out and now I have a great deal more afternoon light than I did last year. The sunset view from my living room window is great!

Hey, I've seen those trees....................More than a few times.

And I hope you Hairballs do again and that I get out to see your place, and the new goggie!

t.. Are you in the same place..

I swear, I am going to get out there one of these days.. I was thinking this summer now that I have the new Civic that gets great mileage, but my daughter wanted to go to Maine instead.. so we are going there this summer.

Mrs. Elf and I hope to visit some day as well.
