Into the Tech-Free Woods
So, the rumors are true. NOTCOT has gone where no tech addict chooses to go... there is NO CELL RECEPTION and NO INTERNET. *gasp*. After much mocking about how i "probably can't remember the last time i've been off the grid" (and no, i can't remember)... today we semi-spontaneously checked out early from NYC, grabbed a rental car (4WD black 2007 rav4), and cruised up to Peacham, Vermont... to a log cabin dan's parents built back in the 70s, and no one has really lived there since (brief visits, but little more than that) - can you see it peeking out from between all the trees?
It's adorable, the surroundings breath-taking - who wouldn't be in love with that lush greenery and fast moving fish filled creek all around after the urban concrete/smells/sounds of NYC? The cabin is going to take a bit of work though, and after so much tech-tethered work, i guess a little manual labor and communing with nature can't be all bad. So if i get a bit quiet this week, you'll know where i disappeared to, and if i'm quiet longer than that... well, send a search party?
As for how i'm posting this? Well we've got to get the water running again, sort out some new furniture/matresses/etc, and hook up a phoneline (and yes, high speed dsl is on its way)... so, thanks to the kindness of friends, i'm getting a warm bed and my internet fix for the day. Few more sneak peeks on the next page - probably loads more to come as i wander and take more pics the next few days!
