One of our readers was asking how we came up with the name of our blog…ha ha ha,no, not really. A girlfriend asked me at lunch. We haven’t even driven a kilometre yet, not so many readers yet.
What’s in a name…

Living in a 289 square foot cabin.
As we wait for storm season to pass in Mexico, we are dividing our time between our cabin in the Columbia Valley in British Columbia, and various family and friends in and around Calgary.
Our cabin is very rustic. It is 289 square feet, 60 or 70 years old and of douglas fir construction. It was salvaged about 16 years ago from Kootenay Nat’l Park near Radium Hot Springs when the Addison Cabins’ land lease was not renewed. We used it for years without running water or electricity. Then for awhile we had both. Currently we are again without running water due to burst pipes that we have decided not to repair. It is hard to keep them from freezing in winter.
It takes a village….
Well, we are now officially homeless! We handed over the keys to our house to our tenants yesterday, convoyed in the truck and my car for some last errands around Calgary, then drove out to our tiny cabin in British Columbia. We will be back and forth between the cabin and Calgary for about the next month while we wait for hurricane season in Mexico to end, then we will start our drive south.
Coming soon
Once we get our house all packed up and start travelling, we will be posting blogs here about our trip. You can sign up below on the right to get an email anytime we add a new post.
