Nice place. Wheres the driveway? ;)
Definately dont see any stone buildings out here, the few that where built a 100 years ago or so are nice just piles of rock after earth quakes.

Sweet, how far do you have to go to get your mail? I would love a place like that in the mountains, with no one to bother me.

Thanks for all the comments guy. I definitely love that place with a passion. I wouldn't trade it for any amount of money because it really is irreplaceable.
We have to go all the way into town to the post office to get our mail. The PO doesn't deliver out there. The cabin sits on about 86 acres of land which is surrounded by thousands of acres of the National Forest. There isn't any other private property around there. The driveway is about 1mi long and is gated where it comes out on a gravel forest service road. My dad bought the property around the same time I was born. There was a really rundown cabin on the property at the time and he fixed it up a little. However, about the time I turned 8 he had plans made up for the cabin you see in the picture now. He and a carpenter friend of his basically built the whole thing. You need a 4x4 to get in to the property and getting some of concrete trucks and stone trucks in there was a sight to behold. My dad's '78 Jeep Cherokee pulled out more than one of those big boys. Ever since I can remember I've been spending my weekends up there with my dad and sometimes my mom, hunting, fishing, wheeling, etc. There is a 9 acre lake with largemouth just a few hundred yards behind the cabin and many streams way back in the mountains that have some native brook trout. Just about any weekend when you wake up you can count on seeing either turkey, deer, or boar in the field. My dad and I kid about why we even leave the cabin to hunt, we could just shoot a few deer or whatever is in season from the porch while we're eating breakfast smile.gif

That’s classic. I miss Tennessee, but I couldn’t live there as an adult. Every time I go back to where I was born and raised I almost die.
You can even see the humidity in those pictures. :cool:

Andrew man, you know how to live. Now lets see that front porch adorned with naked Warn Chicks!

Hehe, yea the humidity is definitely there but when that picture was taken it was a nice breezy day and was about 60 degrees. Couldn't have been nicer.
Dan, yea that's his. That's the designated cabin truck. He uses it to take on the back trails to get to our huntin spots and to haul wood and stuff like that. It's got 36in buckshots, 8274 warn, 4.56s, a detroit rear and truetrac front.
FSJeeper, I hear ya man. The cabin is long overdue. I'll see what I can do smile.gif

Andrew that place is way to cool. If I could make a living and live in a place like that no one would ever see me again except to come into town for mail and gas.
You are one fortunate ??? individual :D
Andrew this doesnt have anything to do with your cabin(awesome cabin).
My friend wants me to do a SAS in his toyota. I rembered that one of the guys in your club has a yota and I was wondering if he swaped in a solid axle or what. So I guess all I want to know is do you know anything about it?

Thanks guys.
Zac, yea he did a SAS on his '88. Basically the kid knows everything there is to know about doing a SAS on a yota. Literally. www.rebelrockrunners.org (http://www.rebelrockrunners.org) should be back up in a few days once our registration goes through, post over on our msg board and ask him about it. His name is Michael McNair.

Wow, that place is beautiful. I saw this topic Monday, and I can't keep from coming back just to stare at it.

Thanks guys. I definitely want to retire there someday. My dad practically lives there already. He owns his owns business so come Thursday he is usually outta the office heading for the cabin for a long weekend. Last week he was arguing with my mom and I heard him say "I'm heading for the cabin, all I need is a case of beer and I don't want to see you for a week" LMFAO!!!
