This is a blog about building a cabin in Maine. And inhabiting it.
It is also about the robust country in this state that is home to cabins, camps and all sorts of retreats.
My hope is that people who like cabins, camping and/or the outdoor life will read regularly.
Years ago, I bought land in central Maine. Several years ago I started to develop a cabin there, and this is the ongoing story.
It has been among the most rewarding experiences of my life, and I will be sharing that with you.
My focus here will on the activities of camp life – canoeing, fishing and swimming.
It will also reflect on other pursuits at camp, which include planting bushes, cutting up firewood, cooking on the grill – and planning further projects.
And we will write about other activities in the country, including traveling the back roads and meeting the people.
It’s not brain surgery.
And that is the point.
The cabin life in Maine is a retreat from the “real world,” and thus a great place to be.
I will also discuss the process of actually acquiring a camp yourself.
This site will demonstrate that buying a parcel is possible, and developing a modest structure is cheaper than you might think.
I will be writing regularly.
If you have suggestions, please send them along.
My inspiration?
Maine itself.
Until next time . . .
