cottonwood trees at the 80
Originally uploaded by benchristen.

This is what the cabin started as -- cottonwood trees! The cottonwood trees we used to build the cabin were cut from this grove. The grove is right next to the cabin. The trees were cut down in the middle of winter since their sap is at the lowest point and they're already nearly dried out and ready for cutting. This picture was taken a few years ago (after the cabin had already been completed). More on the early stages of the cabin later . . . stay tuned!
