With the coming of a storm, I had originally thought to call this submission precarious shelter, and indeed, given the condition of the roof, and the placement of this cabin on the very edge of a valley, it would at best provide limited shelter. But I shortened the title, to allow for a broader interpretation, of the life of the pioneers, and the ongoing existence of these cabins. Not only were the original builders living precarious lives, but these cabins, now the only reminders of the builders, live a precarious existence, vulnerable to the elements and vandals. This particular one, which is more than 100 years old, has had the wall destroyed and will not last much longer. We will need to remember it digitally, for soon it will be lost.
