Cabin Day 10, 2013 - Place Names
Today, I thought I talk a bit more about some of the places on the land that we (or others) have given names to. There are a bunch of them, so you'll need to click through if you see "More..." at the bottom of the page.
Ewok Forest: We named this area the Ewok Forest for the open space filled with straight trees. Since then, the beetle kill has taken its toll. Many trees have been cut down or have blown down. But, the name won't change.
Serenity Point: When we first built the cabin, I used some leftover logs to build a small bench on a point north of the cabin. It is about a 3 minute walk down the top of a ridge, surrounded by trees to the bench. We named it Serenity Point because it is a nice place to "take a break" and simply "contemplate", maybe with early morning coffee.
Dick the Tree: The naming here maybe obvious to you. It used to be even more obvious since there was a strategically placed twig that has since broken off (ouch). This is the only tree I've seen with two trunks that merge into one. The causes of most mal-formed trees are obvious, a larger tree falling across a smaller one, for example. But, this one has me stumped (pun intended).
