I have spent a lot of time there and you have captured its essence with your words and pictures. I am seeing your blog posts about it for the first time today, and am struck with a mixture of happy and sad. Sad, to not have had the maturity to appreciate it in my youth, but happy for the memories it gave me. Hemlocks, moss, cliffs, that beautiful creek, etc. My wife to be visited me in Lexington from San Diego in October of '97 and we spent the night up there and she still talks about it. You have done wonderful things with it, and I'm so happy it is in the hands of someone who really gets it! Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

We do love our place out in the country, though. Thanks for the kind words about my photos; I feel honored, coming from such a talented and accomplished photographer.<br /><br />I saw the pic of your cabin on your blog; it is beautiful.

It is indeed hard to leave our place in the country, but knowing I can go back there any time is comforting. The oak that we're using on the cabin floor is from trees that came down in a storm out at Shabo-Mekaw. We did have the ash trees from our yard cut into lumber, and will be using some of that later.Sharmon Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857659019638341374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9162234011271401496.post-88314288449658955762014-06-16T02:38:20.368-04:002014-06-16T02:38:20.368-04:00It looks like a perfect place to spend time, to re...It looks like a perfect place to spend time, to relaxe and dream.
