Sunday night – Reds cabin

woke up to another very cold winter morning… It was -12… It warmed through the day but was still quite chilly. Are used the cold weather has an excuse to continue to work on my shop. I still have a ton of stuff to move in there and it’s already full so I’m scratching my head.… Anyway it’ll be a lot better than it was.

Around noon Dianne and I took off and I tap Honey Hollow. There’s a beautiful sunny walk and the trees cut the wind which kept dropping the windchill below zero.…We followed a small trail we never followed before that let off the road… It turns out it led to the site of “Reds cabin”… An old hunting camp that I remember from about 30 years ago. This guy read live there and had been allowed to keep his house even when the land became state managed.… I remember the house burnt down for over 30 years ago. We found the old stone foundation and some of the Stonefencing.… It’s interesting to think what it would be like to live up there 3 miles from the nearest electric line in weather like this. On the other hand it was such a beautiful site

I took a short visit to see my friends Thom and ‘Annie… It was great talking to Tom about all his hobbies.… He’s teaching himself to repair watches… He’s only been in a year but look at what happened
