Yet more work at the cabin

I just got back from 4 days at the the cabin. Some additional electrical work was needed, and a couple jack posts were installed to firm up the floor. Some minor changes to the weather station were made to improve temperature reliability. Al in all, a productive trip. The nights are starting to get a bit cool. Sunday night it got down into the mid twenties. I was burning about 50 pounds of coal a day to maintain a temperature inside of around 70 degrees. The lack of insulation and drafty construction are beginning to rear their ugly heads. These are issues that will be addressed in the future, but for now it can make for chilly nights, but, then again, that's all part of the cabin experience. A cool evening, a roaring fire, a movie on DirecTV, a bowl of popcorn, and a fuzzy blanket...what more could anyone ask??

Fall in the Endless Mountains

If you've never experienced fall in the Endless Mountains region of northern PA, you owe it to yourself to do so. The peak foliage color usually occurs dating the first two weeks in October, more or less. Because of the extreme variation of the local micro-climates, peak color tends to happen at different times in areas only a few miles apart. We saw areas with very little color next to areas where many of the leaves have already fallen. Here's a video with some pictures from our trip last weekend...enjoy!!
