The Place' our Amish built cabin.

After traveling thru SW Wisconsin's Coulee region to and from Rendezvous at Prairie du Chen every summer, DW and I fell in love with the land.
Her family had a cottage in central Wisconsin, that we had use of, but wasn't ours......yet we still had the "have your own place" mentality.
We into urban homesteading, gardening, food prep and preservation, doing for your self, putting food and supply back.......That was in the 1980's....we call it prepping now.
Found a 10 acre plot of south facing hill side on a good sized river,....had a perk, road , and access to electric...and the price was right.
Was a few rules and regulations....always check into those details.
Had to build a road onto the property, and electric service, first years projects.
Used it for hunting and recreation while planning a build and possible retirement home.
Moved in a $400 buck Shasta 16ft trailer, an another "A" frame camper (free) as shed and guest house.
Any or all of it didn't have much value incase of break-in's....but was good shelter, and provided a base to work from.
A shed purchased and built by the local high school kids, and moved on to the site (story in it self) provided a water collection, solar water heater, up graded to electric for a shower....add a composting toilet.......Used that set up for many years.
