And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Ok, I'd live there in three out of four seasons. Should have a boat docked down on the water, too.
A luxury yurt at Shearwater Cove, a remote wilderness eco-lodge located in Alaska. Accessible only by boat, the lodge is situated in Resurrection Bay near Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park.
The entire thing is on stilts meaning (at least to me) that the lake water rises and floods the area... or the snow melt poses a problem for run off. Or as one "Annie" points out, mosquitoes may pose a major problem, hench the elevated sleeping quarters.
I never realized how much a little elevation affects the scourge of mosquitoes until I visited my MN cousin whose deck was 16 feet above the ground 70 feet from a forest. Not even a nibble.
Glamping yurt.

ReplyDeleteI lived in Minnesota for 10 years. They have four seasons:
DeleteFloods
Tornadoes
Blizzards
And Mosquitoes.
The MN state bird is also a Mosquito.
I thought the state bird was a somali.
DeleteThat’s a high altitude photo.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much of that view is obscured by the trees. Especially as they grow.
