One of my life's goals is to visit the Twin Lakes area and see this cabin. Am curious as to weather and age. Have read Keith's book at least a dozen times, and have watched the video often enough that my kids say "not that guy again."

Also own the "Alaska Silence and Solitude" video (Bob Swerer?). Interesting to see Dick P. from another's perspective. Watching him strip to shorts and leave the Swerers to stumble relentlessly through the creek --- .... wow, what a tough old man.

One of my favorite quotes from "One Man's Wilderness": "Too many men work on parts of things. Doing a job to completeness satisfies a man."
