Hi Mike,
Was scouting around and found this site. That cabin sure looks great. Maybe Val and I will stop by sometime or you can stop up at the shop. Buisness is booming (Bill would be proud) Talk to you soon |

Nice picture Seamus, - and I'm not nuts about cats! Another day of snowshoeing - can't beat it. Best part is, - if the forecast is correct, - a big IF, - more due by late weekend. |

I knew what you meant too!...But I like the snowflakes - they are all the snow I have seen this year.

Spring? What's that? We have had a very cold, snowy March so far. Still have lots piled around on the ground.
I knew what ye meant, Seamus! And I like the photo of the little bobcat. He's a cutie.

Reminds me of "Space Invaders", only you can't shoot them. Now if Rich could insert a virtual longhunter with a flintlock that shoots the snowflakes, that could be interesting. |

The trees will be bursting forth here in Georgia very soon!
 The days are getting longer! Spring is almost here! Yippee!

Huzz-AH!!!!!!!!
Been noticing lots of Spring things around here.....soon the snow will be gone in the woods, too, and life will return to the trees and there will be new sights and sounds and smells to keep me entertained. City folks sure miss a lot.......... |

I agree with all you have said, MoGuide.......I, too, enjoy snowshoeing and reading the tracks. Recently I found a Bobcat's ambush site of a grouse.....gathered a few feathers and put them in the cabin with some other 'relics' from past woods sojourns: a box turtle shell, the skull of a raccoon, a dropped deer antler, some turkey feathers dropped here and there. One early summer a few years ago, I got a tremendous photo of a bobcat kitten. I'll have to search it out and post it for you.
I am fascinated with the woods and its denizens, and feel privileged to just be there with them and to be able to watch and learn.
It seems that none out there have gotten my point......I was commenting about the electronic snowflakes Rich has sprinkled across my computer screen....not the lovely snow outside! They DRIVE ME NUTS!!!!!

Very nice looking cabin Seamus. However, - there's never enough snow, the more the better! Just need to get out and enjoy. Snowshoeing is "somewhat" of a hobby, every chance I get. After a storm the new animal tracks can be fascinating, usually fox, deer, bobcat etc. So many deer tracks, they're probably going to need some traffic lights pretty soon. Came across some very interesting "cat tracks" about 5+" wide about three weeks ago, - around 1800' elevation. One big kitty, ... ;) |

I like that pic. It's been snowing on and off here. It seems like every time it starts to melt a huge blizzard comes. Eh, no snow days either. =/ |

Wonderful pictures, Seamus! Your cabin looks heavenly!
Hailing from out East, it is hard around the holidays not to see the snow. Luckily, the mountains are only an hour away from the valley, so we take the kids up there to play in the snow! Makes me homesick though I have to admit I can always do without the black ice.
Happy Holidays to all! |

What an adorable cabin! It almost makes me wish we had snow here in Kentucky right now (almost)  |

Great photos, Seamus! The snowy one would make a fine Christmas card. My husband and I have been privileged to visit the cabin several times (I climbed that ladder!), and I can attest to the sense of absolute peacefulness that surrounds you as you walk in the door -- no, even earlier, as you first glimpse the cabin through the trees. One of my favorite places on earth, along with the tiny little building (can't recall its name) that's the earliest building at the Landis Valley Museum. The same sense of peacefulness emanates from both. OF course, we're experiencing them without the struggle that daily life would have required in those times, but even so .... |

I am another snow-lover! It snowed here in Tennessee today, but there is no evidence of it anywhere, now!
Your fireside photo reminds me of the winter get-togethers we used to have at Caesar's Creek Pioneer Village, reenactors only. We would usually have an evening "party" on one cabin or the other and it would be delightful! Good friends, good conversation, good food and drink, and good music. We cheated with a little black box hidden in the closet because none of us played instruments, but it was all period music! A suggestion for nice 18th c. background musicis Bare Necessities, an 18th century band that plays English Country Dance music. Any of their recordings is excellent!
Greetings from cold-but-snowless (pout) Franklin, TN!

Seamus..A wonderful picture of the fireplace, etc. My wife wants me to do a painting of it. I would be obliged to have her in the background sewing though..Regards, Tim |

I love the cabin and the fireplace pic. We have a hunting cabin but it is not like this one, and it does sport a fireplace and two wood stoves. I would give my eye teeth to have a quiet place like that to write.
As for the snow... yuck. It is pretty but I really don't like to drive in it. It is better than driving on black ice though. It is snowing here in upstate NY and it is very cold as well. |

T'was quite an experience, Fitz, and I cherish every trip there. It's another world altogether. I have 36 acres, and some friends have a total of about 84, so we have a great playground! There are about 17,000 acres of State land adjoining it, too, so it will not be encroached upon. I am half a mile off the main (dirt) road and through the forest.....no casual tourists. |

That is a really great cabin! I had the idea of building something like that a few years ago, but the wife didn't see things my way. And later, a friend and I wanted to build one for a historical exhibit in my daughter's town, but that fell through, too. You are very fortunate. |

WW--When Col. William Antes came into the West Branch Valley back in the late 18th century, he built a cabin that was identical to mine in size, layout, etc. (which I found out after I built mine. Now that was a scary discovery! Gave me goosebumps!!) Two families and a black servant man lived in it.....13 people!....until the second family's cabin was built. It isn't real big, 16 feet square with a loft, accessed by a narrow winder staircase, and a walk-in fireplace with a bake oven. It does get a tad crowded at times when we have an 18th century weekend. A couple of years ago, we had a COHT (Coalition of Historical Trekkers) Winter camp, and 20 of us crammed in for the Saturday evening camp dinner! Fortunately, they all (but 3 of us) camped outside in their tents.....
Is this the picture you wanted?

Another snow-lover checking in!
It's snowing outside my windows today! Huzzah!! It's about time.
Seamus, your cabin looks like a little old-fashioned doll house in that photo. Hard to believe that a whole family, complete with several kids, would have lived in one that size.
BTW, for a special Christmas treat to Mohicanlanders, why don't you post that lovely firelight picture? It just looks so warm and cozy. |
