View from the top!

Our camper with portable porch and deck Bonnie built.

Camp Timber Lake and Blossom Ridge Farm (red square).

Topo map. Cottage is approximately where red spray paint is.

Here is an interesting fact we have been told twice now...and that is that our land is located on the highest elevation in Huntington County. Kathy gets really excited about these things. And, until today, we didn't even know there was such a place as Timber Lake Dam! And where is this Lancaster IN that is supposed to be the nearest major town? Roanoke is the nearest town and it is a bump in the road although it does boast two very excellent restaurants and a grocery. Huntington is the nearest town of any size (it has a Super Wal*Mart), and Fort Wayne is the nearest large city (second largest city in Indiana after Indianapolis).

Our picture window is definitely on the right side of the house. From previous photos you can see that we are on the top of something and looking downward as we look to the south.

The lake itself is 8 acres. It is man-made. The two smaller lakes are also man-made. Kathy sees the shape of a starfish when she looks at Timber Lake.

The aerial photo shows that only Denny's homestead was built when the photo was taken. In the aerial photo, the red spray paint is the approximate location where our camper has been for the past several years.

Dull is an odd name for a neighbor.
Dulls who stare at the night sky are different.
Dulls who stare at the stars and live underground are strange but good people.
