From Peter Turner in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada:
My 12’ X16’ cabin on Echo Lake, where I have lived since December of 2005. No running water and outdoor toilet (ok, it’s a little nippy at -40 C) but electricity, a propane stove for heat, high speed internet and a wireless LAN. I have a spectacular view of a small lake, and mountains behind. In summer, a family of loons nest every year, and in winter ice skating, snowshoeing and cross country skiing can be spectacular!

In 1845, transcendentalist philosopher Henry David Thoreau decided to spend two years in solitude with nature. Transcendentalists like Thoreau believe that man and nature are inherently good, but organized society corrupts them. Thoreau wanted to try being self-reliant and independent. The place he chose for this was Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. There, he wrote one of his most famous books, “Walden; or, Life in the Woods”. [Map] [Wiki]
