In my back yard. I'd be getting my logs from Bud Moore over in the Swan, and I could come through your country on the way back. He said he would help me lay up the first run. It might be worthwhile to build it over there and bring it back like Lincoln Logs.

Bud has built many log buildings. You should see some of them.

He built the first ones when he was a teenager. In 2007 we went back and found some of them, which are all in ruins now. Here's a poem I wrote about one of them. He hangs it on the wall of his cabin in the Swan, near where Norman Maclean used to sit.

Moon Saddle Cabin

Stop here, he said
It’s not far
He led the three dreamers
Right to it
Crushed by tree fall
And crumbled by time
The ax work remained unmistakably his
Each corner notch
Each shake, each nail
A testament to the man
An artifact of his skill

Spirits arose out of the rubble
A rusty cook pot
And other ghosts
Sending memories to the man
And shivers up the spines
Of the three dreamers

They tarried awhile
Imagining what happened here
Those seven decades ago
Reluctantly, the spirits settled
Back down into the cabin ruins
As its creator and the three dreamers
Tore themselves away
