Of course it is all fun and games until a bear the size of a bus shows up on your doorstep.
Cell reception? I had two bars with ATT.

More info on the place:
- Structure (except for roof) is all tongue and groove and wood pegs - no nails.
- Solar power & battery for electricity.
- Rainwater collector beneath deck
- propane to keep the place from freezing in the winter time.
- Wood burning stove & fridge in the kitchen
- Outhouse with the same amazing views.

In the cabinet in the background infront of the window is a electronically rising flat screen TV:


Lower corner of solar panel:


Cool part is that the owner of the place is a surgeon, and he built this home pretty much by hand on his own. He's not finished just yet - kitchen is next!

His nearby neighbor has a stream running alongside his property, and he diverted some of the water and created a hydro-electric plan!

Off the grid living has come a long way...
