Lean to with Grandson

Very cool Brian ! The stuff memories are made from  - Bob.

Very cool, brings back old memories, Beau and I use to do that pretty regular, we would just through up something for a night or 2 down on the creek, wander the farm and creek all day and settle into our camp at night. Very special time spent with kids. You are a great Grand Paw and he will remember that all his life as will you.

Brian,
I think KNOLL called you an "Old Fart!" , sounds like he knows you pretty well!

The pic of you and Michael is really cool, it's a special place that the two of you made for yourselves.
The rest of the pics are cool also, it looks like you got a really nice piece of property.

Kevin,
You  have a invitation to come out and see it first hand anytime (maybe if you setup at the Trappers Show over in Little Valley this Summer). You can stay in the lean to when it is finished or I keep a extra tent stashed away for guests to use. I had planned on going with Michael this Sunday to work on the side walls and see how the ammo can stove will work for heating it but I am still a bit on the mend. Not sure if I am up for the drive yet. I may instead take him up to Hawkeye as it is a much closer drive. Maybe shoot our bows and cook up some lunch out on a campfire.

Thats was a great idea you had to build the lean-to with your grandson. I can just imagine what it means to him to have a spot to go to and get away from the modern world for a bit, maybe pretending he is a pioneer, or fur trader, or desperado hiding out from a posse. I loved exploring the woods when I was a kid and could have spent hours at a spot like that. Your a cool grandpa for getting him out there and sharing that experience you had as a kid too.
Looks like a beautiful patch of woods too.

Ammo can stove worked good. We still need to put it in a bit more permanent and finish up that side wall. Added a small tarp to the other side and a Reflective blanket to help keep the heat in (at least that was our thinking). Need to level out the floor a bit here and there and maybe build a raised bed. It was a nice morning to be outside.
