As a child, I dreamed about living in the woods like a pioneer. Maybe it was inspired by Laura Ingalls Wilders' books which were favorites and it was probably due to the fact our family often went to the woods to forage or to hunt. When I was married, we moved to a old mobile home in the woods, part of a parcel of land that my father-in-law had purchased, then divided among his kids. We eventually ended up with three of four pieces of land and put a new mobile home on a different part of the property but we were surrounded by trees and I enjoyed the experience...
