Sunny Cirque

On October 16th, the cirque on The Mountain With No Name across Lynn Canal from our “homestead” got some sun briefly.

We spend a lot of time looking at that cirque. It’s a fascinating place. I want to go visit it someday, although the avalanche activity there makes that very unlikely. It could be considered a “fatal attraction” in my life; perhaps never more so than when it’s spotlit like this!

“But Enough About Myself. What Do YOU Think of Me?”

Me, me, me, I, I, I, we, us, we, us. You’d think this blog is all about the Zeiger family or something.

Well, for today, here’s what someone else thinks about us!

You may recall our story about a visit from Sarah and Hani, who are traveling the country in their homemade RV, Skyhorse (see Skyhorse Comes to Mud Bay). Now, they’ve posted their impressions of the visit on their blog.

I love the photos they took of our place. I also appreciate Hani’s lyricism in describing us!:

“I love their spirit—a spirit nesting in the treasure of nature. In our contemporary world that encourages making our lives convenient and lavish, the Zeigers have ignored this and followed their hearts. It affirms that those that follow their hearts receive rewards that are hidden in the waves of conformity.”

We need to put that in the brochure!

It’s refreshing and flattering to learn someone else’s take on our “homestead.” You can read it here.

Incidentally, the boat they saw north of town is one of my brother, Dave’s designs, available on his Web site.
