When Patsy and I got married in December of 1970 we lived on the back side of Birch Hill in a log wanigan joined to a 20 foot travel trailer. Here is a picture of our house taken from the road in front the first winter we were married. Our land lord Walt Weese is going to sell the land and he invited us out to look at it once again before it is sold and moved off the place or torn down.


As you can see the place has changed a lot over the years. You can't see the wanigan from the road today. Below is the front today.
Below is the back of the house. The travel trailer is still there but it is enclosed with framing. We first thought it was gone but when I looked at the windows, I could see the trailer was still there. They also enclosed the porch for an arctic entry. If you have seen some of the pictures we took from up there you may remember us talking about the tree that is always in the picture. The tree was over the bank and off the end of the porch. I don't think you could pick itout now.

When we lived here the picture below was the bedroom. The bed was a double bed that was along the wall where the heater is now. The head was against th shower wall and the foot was against the curved end wall. We had electric heat but the room was still cold. We used an electric blanket to keep warm but the covers still froze to the wall and the decorative nail heads that held the paneling in place would have frost on them.
