Here's my cabin. I was supposed to share it with roomates, but none presented themselves. The first morning I was there, I wrote a small note to the roomies who would arrive telling them who I was, and how long I'd be there, and that of course they could take the big bed if they wanted it.
Most of the people wandering around Breitenbush have towels around their necks. Between the hottubs and pools and the sauna, noone is ever dry for very long. Here I am heading out for a hike and a soak. The crazy thing is that I walked to the lodge and set down my towel and my water on a picnic table. I knew that noone would touch my things unless they absolutely couldn't avoid it. I went on my little hike up the river and then came back to my belongings just where I needed them. It was very cold already, so I'm wearing my silly hat, too.
This is the inside of the cozy warm cabin. It's heated with radiators that are filled with water that was piped down under the earth to the hot spots and then piped back up. Because this uses almost no energy, I had no guilt about turning up the heat in my cozy cabin and taking really hot long showers.
This is the lodge I described earlier. It's where all the meals are served. In the afternoon, the sun shone on the porch there and I liked to eat at the picnic tables. Then after, I'd find an Adirondack chair and move it near the woodpile, the LAST place to remain sunny before the sun fell behind the mountains, and knit. (In fact, you can see the chair right where I left it.)
