Growing up as a kid we always went to camp on the weekends, our camp was in the Allegheny National Forest, one weekend someone put a School Bus about 100 yards from our camp to be used as their camp, my father said it's getting crowded here and he sold our camp, he did however buy some property and we had another camp, but it eventually turned into our primary residence, so no more camp. I grew up had kids camped in tents, then got remarried and bought a small travel trailer, that was about 3 years ago, however I only got to go a few times a year, never could find a good employee to do my jobs while I went camping. Well I finally found a good employee and was planning on my first camping trip of the year last weekend, then I read an add in our local area shopper(cabin for rent, no water, no electric,comes with outhouse and wood burner $190.00 per month) I called and called but never an answer. So I took a chance and placed an add on the internet, Craig's List to be exact, a guy emailed me and said he had a cabin he would rent me,vinyl sided, drywalled, dish tv....you get the picture, I said sorry not what I am looking for, he said his father in law had something I might like. My wife and I went to look at it last Tuesday, my jaw almost hit the forest floor, there tucked in between huge pines, oakes and cherry trees sat a small log cabin made by had. it's one room, maybe 16X24 with a good size porch. It has a woodburner no electric, water via a hand pump and an out house, all this for a whopping $150.00 per month.
Finally my very own cabin, it needs a little work, a patch in the porch roof, the sink needs hooked up, it needed cleaned, he said I could do whatever I want to fix it up, it 5 min from a huge lake and 10 min from a med lake and there are two petty good size bass ponds on the property. We stayed up there (Mayvil, NY) this weekend, it was awesome, peace and quiet, no phone just relaxing, off the grid, no physical address, maybe 5 people know its back there mostly his kids thats it. Sorry for going on, but I am a little excited. A buddy and I are going back up this coming weekend so I'll take some pictures and post them.
