A Cabin on the Mountain
After being driven from tent camping by mobile campers with gasoline generators, my wife Kate and I bought seven acres of  secluded
property atop Great North Mountain, Gore, Virginia.  After having a shell of a cabin built, we spent the next several years developing a
system for capturing spring water for our use, finishing and furnishing the interior, constructing a stone chimney and hearth from stones we
collected on the mountain, and obtaining basic utilities for comfort.

The story is about the profound enjoyment of living amongst nature and our experiences developing and living on this property off and on
for more than thirty-five years.  It's about learning building and maintenance skills, making do with what material is at hand, communing with
nature and observing a plethora of mountain animals.  

Read this recounting of our experiences in the wilds on the border between Virginia and West Virginia and let your mind drift back to the
less crowded, less noisy, less modern life that once was.
