Hippie Cabin

Mike's parents own lots of land (1400+ acres) a few hours from us and they just recently bought a cabin with 80 acres three miles from there house. It was built by a hippie in the sixties or seventies. Its pretty awesome inside. It has wooden hinges and locks on the front door and kitchen cabinets. Also its an octagon shape and the floor is all wood so its pretty impressive that he built it himself. He was a very talented hippie ha. Anyways, staying here is not for the faint of heart. It has no running water (it used to so it has a toilet that you flush with creek water from a bucket), no electricity (there are a few lights that are run on a car battery), and no smooth road that leads to it (you definitely have to have 4 wheel drive to get here). Its pretty spooky at night driving if you don't know where you are going, but once you get there its well worth it. It has a two acre clearing where the cabin is with a creek at the bottom of the hill and its so peaceful and beautiful. We went there this weekend with my parents and a family friend. We had so much fun sitting by the campfire (again spooky because there are NO lights around and who knows what kind of animals are close!), shooting skeet, riding four wheelers, and shopping at the local Amish grocery store (my personal favorite). This is where we stay when we visit his parents so we will be spending many more holidays and weekends here.
