Dear One and Only - So what about Fort Traut?  Margaret has kudos coming to her; she defended her right to provide not only authentic ouhouses but cabins with chipmunks for the few who appreciate this rare experience and we know that true rusticators and Margaret and Eddie --may they R.I.P. --all benefited from this agreement-a touch of living in the rough and the touch of money --a fair exchange --if those cabins would stand strong and true for another fifty years there would be no takers because the rough and ready of us are disappearing..belonging to the elite troop of Traut followers, a handful no more, we and the Trauts won't go down in written history but in the oral tradition, eventually becoming lore and the stuff of legend...I miss the leaky boats and the cracked oars  and the bear swimming across the lake, and the Captain in the lodge playing the upright and singing Oh Baby won't you please come  home..the lodge where you could sit up to the bar and talk sense with your kind of people over a bottle of  Hamms even if it didn't make sense ....and..
