*July 17, 2004*
Zac, Daniel, my family and I camped here last night. ( July 16 ) Lorin and Vicki came out for supper and Dad and Lorin cooked. We started the permanent fire pit. Oh what a beautiful morning! And the work begins. We had just gotten started and the photographer from the Topeka Capital Journal stopped by. The article appeared in the July 20 paper. Either I am getting stronger or these poles are getting lighter! Below, the hole is cut for the fireplace.

Above, Mrs Iliff is bailing the water out of the cabin. Below, I am just making sure everyone is working! Below: Is that Lorin?		More cutting and securing but the walls are about done. Moving these logs is not easy but after trying different things, the best way to get the poles where you need them is muscle.

Above: That's me. Inspecting the work. Below: Grandpa and Lorin.		Above: My sister, Cara.




Above: The Walls are done! Below: Thanks to everyone on my work crew today.
