Cabin in a Hollow (Holler)
Clint took me on another adventure, and we found another very old log cabin. Even better than that, we found Gene, a kind and gentle 85-year-old man who seemed like he was in his early to mid-70s. As a boy, Gene knew the old man who built this cabin for his very large family. It is located in a hollow ("holler"), is two stories, and is in surprisingly good shape. There were fruit trees and a spring very close to it. This cabin might actually be able to be saved. Gene liked me so much, he kissed me on the top of my head! I hugged him and looked him in the eyes and told him how much I enjoyed meeting him before we left.
