Inspired by Ken Kern, here's the start of the hidden trail and the retreat cabin we built at the other end.

Two people carried all materials and tools in and out this trail. This is a simple structure just 10 feet by 14 feet with a flat roof deck for sleeping and lounging. It can be built for less than $2,000. You don't have to pour concrete.
