Off-grid post 9.22.18, Milestones



With respect to cabin location:  two spots are possible.  One is in the possible cabin location
marked in the GPS waypoints on Garmin, and the second is a projected position
based upon the canopy waypoint.

If the canopy location is used, a few preparations are in order.  The wreckage
of the shack has to be moved out of the way.  Secondly, a way has to be hacked
out of the vegetation that may block the way.  Of particular concern is the very
large thorns that may puncture tires.  The last thing I want is a flat tire out there.

As for the possible cabin location, vegetation will also have to be removed.
Either way, vegetation has to be cleared.  That is the milestone that must be
reached before construction is to begin.

Second milestone is to get an inspection from the state for septic plan.  Septic
plan needs to get approved before occupancy can be granted.  No sense building
something that you cannot live in.  That has to be squared away early on.

A third milestone is to decide whether to use my travel trailer, or build a cabin
from scratch.

If I were to build a cabin or use the trailer, I can make use of a pathway that
I used for the shack.  As mentioned, the shack needs moving out of the way.  Besides
that, there is little vegetation along a long, straight line.  I like ideas that
involve little work. By the way, the shack in the canopy location mentioned above.

Here is a pic of the pathway, with the pin at the existing shack location.  This is subject
to change based upon actual visual locations when I get out there and mark these spots
with the Garmin.  In other words, these are approximations.

The yellow print is hard to read.  It merely points out that there is room for a turnaround in order to maneuver the trailer into position.  Probably would want to back the trailer in.
