Ed Abbey lived in a trailer behind the cabin and never lived in the cabin at the tower. He would walk up the road every morning to go to work. I have lots of stories if anyone wants to listen. stglmyr@hotmail.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429261401696169800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084204667222116589.post-65740362135154916642009-06-22T08:46:36.993-07:002009-06-22T08:46:36.993-07:00I love Edward Abbey's outrageousness!
