Cougar Cabin

Staci did us right and claimed a historic A-frame from the OMSI science school up the road when it closed. Legend has it that these originally came from the Rajneesh and his goofy cult out in John Day in the 80's before acting as student wilderness housing in the Tumalo Creek Falls area for 25 years or so. Remember all the salmonella poisoning in the Dalles to rig the county elections? That Rajneesh. Anyway, it's ours now! Met a man that goes by the name of 'Swede'...he was making money moving these cabins for folks (there was 15 or 20 of these things). Swede was a what you call an original local. Moved his first building by the time he was 16...a hay barn that was turned into the Model A barn when the horses were replaced. He moved it home and parked his '47 Plymouth in it. He's one of those people you feel honored to know. So, Swede drops off the cabin and Todd and I (with Staci's gentle supervision) have almost moved it in to place.
