Lou Ureneck spent 20 years in Maine, advancing to become editor of the Portland Press Herald before leaving the state and eventually landing in Boston. In his latest book, Cabin, Two Brothers, a Dream, and Five Acres in Maine, ($25.95, Viking) Ureneck now working in Boston returns to a state he says he cant get out of his system, and finds ... again ... exactly what he was looking for. Cabin follows the construction of a woods retreat, from its theoretical creation in the authors mind, through fits and starts, trials and errors and, eventually, to completion ... if one can ever truly say that a work in progress such as a cabin has really reached completion.
About once a week, the groomers tote groceries up to the cabin, with which [Mike Gora] cooks vats of soup. On this day, he had made something called Cabin Vegetable, as well as a carrot-ginger-zucchini soup, which was hearty and chunky - just what you'd want after slogging up the Cabin Trail. And at $3.50 a bowl, the price was right. Gora isn't a cook by tradehe's had to learn by doing. "I've definitely gotten better over the years," he claimed. As I ate my soup, Gora explained the draw of the cabin. It's the fact that it's a destination, he reasoned, and unique to Trapps. Plus, it's laid back, it's friendly, and "nothing ever has to happen right away up here." Gora guessed that far fewer people would ski at Trapps without the cabin. With single- day passes priced at $22, one of the pri...
Q: I have a small cabin in northwest Pennsylvania adjacent to Allegheny National Forest. The cabin is sided with T1-11 and stained with Thompson's WaterSeal.

The repellents haven't worked, and they last only a short time. I've heard crude oil keeps them away, but I don't want the dark look from the crude. Any suggestions? -- Pittsburgh A: Any plywood is a delicacy for porcupines because they love the glues. The only real preventive is to wrap the bottom of the siding with small-mesh chicken wire or the widest mesh hardware cloth you can find.
Someday, Ray and Mary Lou Good figure they will no longer be up to making the long trip from Intercourse to their beloved mountain cabin in Tioga County. When that day comes, all they will have to do to continue their mountain living is walk downstairs.
She grew up with 10 siblings in a tiny, rustic cabin on Davis Creek. The children slept upstairs on corncob beds, five boys on one side, six girls on the other. Newspapers lined the walls for insulation. The bathroom was an outhouse. They got water from a well. They lowered a bucket on a rope to reach the water.
A settlement offer to help pay for wells left high and dry by last falls Condit Dam breaching appears to be getting a cool response from cabin owners at the former Northwestern Lake. PacifiCorp earlier this month sent a proposed agreement to dozens of cabin owners.

When a teen wanted to advertise a beer-soaked "Cabin Fever" party that drew more than 30 young people to a Chautauqua County cabin, state police say he used Facebook. And when troopers wanted to track down the organizer and underage drinkers from the raucous, three-day party, photos posted by the guests on Facebook came in handy as evidence.
