Upon leaving Angel Fire, Stan and I went to Pitkin,Co - a little, bitty town in the mountains where Jocelyn and Kristian have property. The purpose? Building a cabin. It's a beautiful piece of land with lots of water and trees and summer afternoon thunder showers to add entertainment. To get there you go up 3 1/2 miles of unpaved mountain road (very bumpy, steep and narrow) through mountain meadows and canyons. Kristian has a trailer that he used to haul up all the materials and tools for building. I can not imagine how he did it!! The property is at 10.000 ft and off the grid. We spent a few days along with Kristian's dad, Murray,Jocelyn and Kristian, pounding nails, painting, burning wood scrap and generally raising a cabin. I'm telling you, those people can work! Dawn to dusk and then down the hill to the KOA for a shower and bed. It reminded me of building houses on Mountain Dr - everyone coming around, putting in maximum effort to get a jump on a new home. The best way to build of you ask me....
