How close to the cabin are you?
It'd be a 15-20 minute drive to the pond. Once there, the replica cabin is near the parking lot, easily accessible and the original foundations are on the other side of the pond. Hiking time escapes me as I did it as a kid (often) and never as an adult.
Ahh, so it is a replica. That's what I was trying to find out originally.
i will lend you a bicycle, gus. we can have a nigty little bicycle trip, all of us. ay?
littlek,
What great pictures ... that's got to be a better camera than you're saying it is. Well done K, I'm impressed!!!

I'm never against a good bicycle ride (I would insist on being in front though) but the thought of going to see a replica doesn't have the same appeal.
Dag, I bet you are beginning to regret that you ever told that bicycle story, huh?
If you want to see a really cool authentic cabin you can visit John Borrough's "Slabsides" in NY. It even has the original furnishings and dishware. I'll see if I can find a picture.
There is the foundations to see, but no original house. We could go see the original Louisa May Alcott house. We could see the graves of many famous historians.....

uhhh. yeeeaaaah. you can go first though, at least you won't be yakking at me from behind.
we can also ride to Lincoln and Lexington and all them battle grounds and enact the Minutemen ride. I think Gus should be the English.
This is more as I remember it. But, I don't recall the rock pile as much as rock foundations. Perhaps the pile was laid down to protect the original foundation (the way rocks are lain to protect archeologic sites.
"G_d D__n!" as the brits said to Revere.
<they couldn't write the curse in full is what was explained to me by littlek when i stared puzzled by the g_d d__n>
<write the curse on the plaque that marks the spot of confrontation between revere and the poms>
funny. nobody else is here...and we sit behind the same table. feels kinda...odd.
Gus stares at littlek and dag, and with a touch of incredulity in his voice, says, "You're telling me that THAT is the remains of Thoreau's cabin?"
Looks more like Lord Ellpus.
