Day 1,458 of the Adventure
Today marks the fourth anniversary of our purchase of the backwoods property. Early on, we referred to it as "Camp Run-Amuck". Somewhat appropriate for the general condition and the work we began right away. The picture shows us parked next to our "Grand Canyon" of the backwoods. It's a rock canyon that is about 100 feet or so behind the cabin. A lot has happened since then. It's been a wild and wonderful experience. We began with a rough hunting trail from the road down into the woods. From there, we've built everything that's here now. There have been plenty of trials along the way and honestly, it took a year or more for it to feel like home. Now, I'd just as soon not leave for any reason. We now refer to our secluded hide-away as "The Campfire Trail". Also appropriate due to the many campfire locations we have around the property. It's a little slice of Ozarks Heaven where we are in continual "Escape" mode. Our commitment has been to build it all ourselves and so far, with the exception of a week or so of volunteer labor from our kids, that's been exactly how it's gone. We are currently building our house as we enter year five and who knows what the coming year will have in store for us.
