To all
I had a wonderful weekend get-away that I thought I would share!
I have a friend who has a mountain cabin in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains of Washington State--on the east side of the mountain range--just north of the small town of Cle Elum--it's in the Teanaway River drainage area--on this Google Map--the cabin is about in the middle of the *empty space* area just north of *Spoke Lane*, and between *Sandy Ridge Rd*, and *Wagon Wheel Rd*--it's not actually on a road--it's in the woods!
Click on the *Hybid* button of the Google Map and zoom out--you'll get the idea!
During winter, the cabin is about a half mile from the nearest plowed road.
There's no electricity, no running water, and you have to snowshoe in--and pack food and water in by snowmobile with a snow sled.
The cabin is at about the 3000 foot elevation--there's been a fair amount of snow this year!
Did I mention, there's no running water--that means no flush toilets too!
If anyone is familiar with the PBS (Public Broadcast System) *Red-Green Show*--you might want to make a note of another use of *duct tape*--when the toilet seat cracks--it keeps one from being *pinched*!
Heat comes from a wood stove!
Food is cooked on an old wood cook stove--the homemade bread was to die for--it was rising under the red checkered towel! Beef stew was simmering in the iron pot.
