.The Camping Trip: a cabin in the woods

On the trip, there was an old cabin in the woods that had been built by a homesteader over a hundred years ago. The last resident of this cabin died sometime in the '70s. The resident was an old woman that had lived there most of her life until the end of her life. The inside of the cabin is very interesting, in the upstairs the wallpaper is made from newspapers from the '50s, of which some can still be read. Here is a picture of the cabin, in front of it is an old orchard with some giant old pear trees, to the left of the cabin is a root cellar, and all around the cabin there are giant old trees.

Do you have anymore photos of the cabin? It is really neat. I love to see them.I am very fascinated by homesteaders and their life and this cabin looks like it's plucked right out of their life vitually untouched. I am an avid reader of anything Laura Ingalls Wilder who lived in her share of pioneer buildings. You are so lucky to live near all these bits of the past.
