We had a fabulous time on our weekend trip in Virginia. Temporarily residing in the cabin was like stepping back into the 19th century. Being there really put life in perspective. I am constantly reminded I can live so much more simply each time we go backpacking but actually living in someone's old cabin on their homestead was different. There was something idyllic and romantic about the cabin and accompanying way of life. All of our needs were met - the wood stove kept us comfortably warm, the cooking wood stove worked wonderfully (the menu included eggs, hash browns, pancakes, veggie sausage, pasta with fresh veggies, nachos, and oodles of snacks and wine), bringing in our water from the nearby spring was not a hassle, lantern and candles provided more than enough light, and we were dry when it rained. It was quite possibly one of the best trips I've taken in a long, long time. If only we could have stayed a little longer....
