Summary

In 1949, taking a break from San Diegos post World War II bustle, the Knowles family went camping in Canada. Heading home through northwest Montana's Yaak River country, they found a two-bedroom, story-and-half log cabin on a small lake. There was naither electricity not plumbing. Access was via dirt road, slow at best and iffy during the long, hard winters.
