sweet cabin


Slept in this morning and ended up taking a two hour lunch with Freebird at High Point State Park. Just set at a park bench overlooking a pond. Really trying to do more of this as I am in such a good place mentally. Ended up getting soaked in a rain storm - so instead of going into town (Unionville -where you stay at the mayors house!) we ended up stopping at Jim Murray's property. He thru hiked in 1989 and when finished ended up buying 85 acres and building several outbuildings. There was an old ice house - so he built a hiker cabin to match it. We had heated indoor and outdoor shower, electricity, a box fan, and baseboard heat (which we didn't need). Jim happened to be on the property while we were there so able to talk to him a bit. He comes up and tents just to watch the sunrise. I have been wanting to build a cabin for a while now - and this just makes that feeling even stronger. His craftsmanship was supurb. Thanks Jim!
