Life goes on. And that was proved true by the overgrowth on the approach trail and property as of this past weekend, sheesh, it is going to be a lot of work before we can even get to work.
The plan at this point is to work on getting access as easy as possible and starting with a large platform and some form of modular structure set. Could be heterogeneous both in size and building method. So what starts as the base structure could eventually be a storage unit or the utility module (ie: kitchen, bath, utilities, batteries) with separate sleeping modules later. We'll see.
One thing my friend turned me on to which was new to me is Arched Cabins: http://www.archedcabins.com/
Looks pretty cool, I have an info request into them. The pricing is reasonable: for less than the cost of a Yurt a structure that requires less maintenance, and the setup time is claimed to be modest.
So the bears are out in force, here are some pics from a neighbor's game camera:
Black bears aren't as big or aggressive (on average) as the brown bears out west.
