We have family coming next week, so we really wanted to finish a project that we have been working on for some months now. We wanted to complete clearing the trail from our cabin up to the main logging road that runs above our site.

Well Digging Again!
Our well ran dry this week. Not terribly surprising, given the lack of rain. In fact, it was quite amazing how long it did last.
Making Contact
I’ve recently learned that people like us are referred to as “OTG” – for Off The Grid. Good to know that you can apply a simple abbreviation to our peculiar type of eccentricity. Almost sanitizes us!
How Does Our Garden Grow?
Certainly not with silver bells, and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row. But grow it does … at least some of it.

When you live in the city, getting rid of human waste is as simple as a flush. When you are living off-grid, things get just a wee bit more complicated.
Deconstruction and Decomposition
We’ve been invited to a deconstruction party.
