Ever read Anne LaBastille's- 'I Woodswoman? If not, the woman built her own cabin in the Adirondacks with trees she felled. Only thing is, she put it too close to the lake, and wound up having to ROLL it back on LOGS (she also felled, a couple of friends helped her). I think she's in her 70s, still living out there with her dog.

 Sounds interesting.

Also, I discovered that Dick  Proenneke's entire journal can be read as a pdf found at the bottom of his Wikipedia page HERE.

More info on his cabin et al HERE.

What about Minnesota? I hear the Tapioca in Minnesota is quite good.
