From one of my favorite blogs - A Rovers Cabin.

 

Read the whole story here;

Rovers Log Cabin story

Scouts don't often get to do that kind of stuff anymore.

It would be neat if the logbook became a book.

B2R by the fire. River Rocks

 

Haven't done one of these in a while either. 

Books to read by the Fire.

River Rocks.

I was not expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did.

I started reading it as a plan to check out the book to see if it would interest my teenage daughter. Well, it should, but I really enjoyed it also. And have already purchased the next book.

River Rocks - part Huch and Tom meet National Treasure, but not as far out there as Indian Jones.

Set in West Virginia, an area I have kayaked, the local setting was done really well.

The characters well developed and mostly likable. 

Even had a log cabin in it.

A few from this week.

Cool enough to have a fire all day, but not too cold to work outside.

A pano of the place.

Dug and new hole and moved the outhouse this week.

Did a little repair while I was at it.
 

Movies with Log Cabins - Drums along the Mohawk.

 

Have not done one of these in a while.

Made in 1939, it still stands the test of time. 

While filmed out west the sets and location are very well done.

Not only are the log cabins nice, but the for and stone buildings are well done also.

Acting is pretty typical of the period, and a very early Henry Fonda movie, but like with most movies of this period, you really have to enjoy the character actors.

Nice still from the movie.

Colors, they are a changin'

 

While the colors are not quite at there peak, this beautiful sulfur shelf mushroom comes back every couple of years.

And it is right near the cabin.

Fall colors sitting spot.

Stove is ready for the next chilly day.

Colors have started, however.

Finally our kind of weather out at the cabin.

First fire inside this fall, first fire outside this fall and a nice breakfast to get us going.

Daughter slept in the hammock cause it didn't get to chilly, around 42 degrees I believe, well above her coldest camping out.

She even cooked the dinner that night.
