A Cabin in the Smokey Mountains. An American dream.
Old miner’s log cabin in Sovereign Hill, Ballarat (Melbourne)
John Oliver Place in Cades Cove on a frosty fall morning. Built in the 1820’s, it’s the oldest log home in Cades Cove. Nov, 2007
Morning sun filters through the trees at John Olivers Cabin with a few dogwoods in the background…The cabin is almost completly surrounded by split-rail fence also…...The Oliver’s bought land in the Cove in 1826 and this cabin site remained in the family until the Park was established. The house is typical of many found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflects the skills and techniques brought into the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants. This cabin is located on the Cades Cove Loop Road, in the Great Smoky Mountain N.P.
Old cabin in the Tasmanian Highlands..
Sepia Toned of a previous…Morning sun filters through the trees at John Olivers Cabin with a few dogwoods in the background…..The Oliver’s bought land in the Cove in 1826 and this cabin site remained in the family until the Park was established. The house is typical of many found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflects the skills and techniques brought into the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants…..Split-rail fences require much more timber than other types of fences, and so are not common in areas where wood is scarce or expensive. However, they are very simple in their construction, and can be assembled with few tools even on hard or rocky ground. They also can be built without using any nails or other hardware; such hardware was often scarce in frontier locations.These fences are sometimes refered to as Worm Fence due to the back and forth placements…This cabin is located on the Cades Cove Loop Road, in the Great Smoky Mountain N.P.
Appalachian life styles from days gone by / This little log cabin restored to it’s original beauty stands along a country road in the western part of Kentucky.The new addition of the air conditioner in the window made me smile. Times have changed alot since the cabin was originally built! It’s hard to believe that one room cabins such as this housed families with several children and Father and Mother in days gone by! Strong family ties were grounded forever in such small living quarters where there was no privacy and one was expected to give “thanks” for simply having a “roof over head” and food on the table. How different are the families of today with each member having their “own room” complete with all the electronics such as computers, TV’s, sound systems, ALL which has enhanced aloneness within the family. Perhaps the old log cabin was NOT such a bad idea after all!

Today I was planning to go into the Marysville area and check out how some of the waterfalls have faired after our recent bush fires. Despite being opened to the general public this week the road I wanted to use (Woods Point Rd) to get into the area was not, so after a quick rethink I instead visited another waterfall on my list and after a huge dirt road detour ended up at Tanjil Bren near Mt Baw Baw. The waterfall has no name and I only had a large scale map with very little detail to find my way but after innumerable stops to clear rocks and branches from in front of my 2WD I was stopped in front of a huge tree that blocked the track. The land nearby dropped away steeply and I could hear the rush of water so I figured it must be it. After donning boots and gaitors I descended very steeply through the scrub finding a track just as I hit the river. To my amazement the track soon emerged at a quaint log cabin. An enormous amount of effort had obviously been made to get the materials in and build it coming complete with two cabins with huge log walls, corregated tin iron roof, fireplace, river rock pavers, food, first aid kit, clothing and bedding and a small room which appeared to be some kind of sauna. I presume it is on public land and illegal but obviously so few people ever visit that it has remained under the radar (no I didn’t find a nearby plantation but…). Continuing down stream I explored the three tiered falls as best I could in the steep sided canyon which had an amazing flow of water even at this dry time of year eventually returning to the car via the much easier track. Elated from exploring and seeing a sight that it appears only a select few know about.

Settling Along The Buffalo Abraham Villines, and his children were among the earliest pioneer families in the Buffalo River valley. Abraham’s grandson William built this log house in 1850 for his new bride, Rebecca. Four years later their son James was born here. James Villines (1854-1948) was known as ” Beaver Jim” for his trapping abilities. After his marriage in 1880, he moved from this home to his own farmstead across the Buffalo River. In the mid-twentieth century, Villines family descendants used this house as a barn..with the chimney still attached. Today the notched, and hand- hewn logs recall the pioneers that carved their homes out of the Buffalo River wilderness. Ponca Arkansas, USA
Featured in Rural Canada Coast to Coast pre 1960’s – September 6, 2009 Jack London’s original log cabin was built on the North Fork of Henderson Creek, 120 km south of Dawson City, just prior to the gold rush of 1898. London entered the Yukon in September of 1897 as a 21-year-old prospector looking for gold. While he didn’t strike it rich, he later turned his Klondike adventures into fame and fortune with his legendary short stories and books. London’s cabin was abandoned after the Gold Rush. It was re-discovered by trappers in 1936 who noted London’s signature on the back wall. Yukon author Dick North organized a search in 1965 and eventually had the cabin dismantled and shipped out. Two replicas were made from the original logs. One is at the interpretive site in Dawson City, while the other was re-assembled at Jack London Square in Oakland, CA., London’s hometown. The Dawson site was developed by Dick North, the KVA and the Yukon Government. It contains photos, documents, newspaper articles and other London memorabilia. Dick North still spends his summers as an interpreter at the centre, a job he shares with Dawne Mitchell. Together they share their knowledge of London and the cabin with thousands of visitors who visit the site from around the world. The centre is maintained by the KVA and is open to the public seven days a week, mid-May through mid-September. / (http://www.yukoninfo.com/dawson/info/jacklondon.htm) / / Photographed in Dawson City, Yukon at 12:46 am / Canon EOS Rebel XTi; 17-85mm lens / 1/25 sec.; F/4; 17mm; ISO400
Log Cabin, Lost Villages, Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. / October 12, 2008
Animas Forks is a small ghost town just outside of Silverton, Colorado. It was founded in 1880 and was a silver mining town (Elevation 11,160). Only a few of the old cabins are still standing. This shot was from within one of the cabins looking out. I metered for the outside view and used a flash to illuminate the walls. /
