Yes, I love it here and have owned my place since 1980 and was coming up for
quite a few years visiting friends before that. I figure it looks a lot like
what most of the world did millions of years ago with a very thin layer of
soil on top of solid bedrock. Of course now and then a 60 foot pine tree will
fall over without much force being put on it since the roots often are wide
but only go down a foot or so..

For 13 years I wintered here, which was fun because there was no way that
didn't cost a fortune to keep running water so I had a wooden box on the ice
covering the hole to slow down the freezing where I got my water in pails.
I used to tell people I had running water.. if I really hurried..    B)
Parking and mailbox was about a mile from the house, snowshoes and toboggan
for getting groceries in. Some mornings I woke up and the pails of water in
the kitchen would have a layer of ice on them.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger ??    B)
