ABOUT ME
Life has been a splendid adventure in which I've never met a stranger. I grew up overseas (W Africa and Middle East mostly) as my folks were archeologists with the U of Chicago and came to love the process of getting to know new places and people. Since grad school in WA I've returned to my family farm in IL and ramping up a small organic farm and apiary. I have a rustic but cozy cabin (circa 1907) on the Rock River just south of Oregon, IL, which I can put folks up at if it's not rented through Airbnb. Water is shut off from November through March, or whenever it's freezing out. Nice beds but BYO sleeping bag. Full kitchen, free canoes/kayaks and 2,300 acres of surrounding state forest to roam. Just check with me a few days ahead of time to see if it's open. You can see pics if you search for cabins in Oregon, Illinois on Airbnb. It's called Goose Island Cabin.
PHILOSOPHY
One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things (Henry Miller)
