Read about the adventures of Bob and Florine Hirsch as they describe their early adventures when they moved from a small town in New Hampshire to a single room cabin deep in the heart of Alaska. After leaving behind their 5 children and 6 grandchildren, they arrive to find  a run down cabin that would be their home for the next 7 years. Had they made a mistake? How would they survive?

"My heart sank. I didn't expect such a dilapidated place. After walking around the place, Bob suggested we get our mattress and bedding into the cabin. Oh no! I wanted to sleep in the truck again tonight. He wouldn't hear of it, as he had had enough of cramped quarters after twelve days on the road."
