Log Cabin Accommodations

As a kid, my friends and I spent a lot of our time building "forts". The crown jewel of our fort portfolio was "the cabin", which has been mentioned before and will likely be mentioned again in the future.
The cabin had 3 beds; one bunk bed that Steve and Mike slept on and a single for myself since I was a little bigger at the time than my two friends. Each of the beds were made out of 2x4's and plywood and were completely sufficient to meet our needs at the time.

Today, our Southwest Missouri fort has more favorable accommodations than the old one did, but interestingly performs pretty much the same function. I don't think I could have envisioned that some 30 years later I'd end up building an adult version of our ultimate boyhood fort. Who would have known.

I thought about Steve and Mike when I took this picture the other day and wondered how they recall our overall log cabin operation of 1972-75. One of these days I need to contact them to see if they have a picture of our old cabin anywhere in their family picture archives. If they come up with one, I'll share it on a future post.
On this and other matters, I'll of course keep you posted.
