Many of the houses in the area were literally cabins in the woods. Wood slat exteriors with peaked roofs and a gravel drive out front for parking.

In an effort to preserve as many trees as possible, even the roadway itself was constructed to wind around the trees.

A hand carved totem pole stood in front of one of the houses in the neighborhood. This was a simple totem with only a single animal (a beaver) on top.

A sculpted, metal chicken stood between two trees alongside the road. It almost appeared to be waiting to cross.

Two old chairs stood at the end of a cabin's driveway. They both screamed for repair. They stood next to two propane cylinders that were probably empty.

A full-fledged house stood just beyond a small hill. This just illustrates that not all the homes were cabins.

A fancy gate barred access to a home from the road. The gate appeared to open in the center, but in fact the whole gate rolled sideways to open.

A Home In The Middle Of The Woods

Whereas a cabin in the middle of the woods reminds one of horror films, a home in the middle of the woods reminds one of the suburbs.
