Building our Cabin in the Ozarks: 1969 we bought 40 acres, adjacent to what is now Mark Twain Forest, in Crawford County, MO. Near streams that would be ideal for swimming fishing and canoeing. After the first winter and spring we began to build a new cabin. On weekends we would set a foundation footing or two and by the latter part of July 1970, we we ready for setting the flooring & sawing of frame gussets. My brother in law and his sons joined our six for the week end. At the end of the weekend, the joists, flooring and one rigid frame was up. For the next two VERY HOT AND SUNNY weeks,we rushed to build our cabin, close it in, and put on roof tar paper. (The tar paper blew off by the next week end of course. ) This is when we finished the roof.. Later we painted and stained the Cabin, brought in the electric and propane tanks.
For the next 14 years we used the cabin on week ends and vacations, as much for living green and close to the earth, as well as having time together with those we love, in a place we loved. WE called it "Turtle Run", as "Deer Run" would have been too easy. Located near Pucky Huddle, MO
a.k.a. Davisville, Crawford County, Missouri. Mark Twain Natural Forest.

  • Hello, my great uncle Kehner owned/operated the store in Davisville. He was also the postmaster. My aunt Bernice was his wife. This was the late 1940's to the 1970's. We children, (1966-71) spent two weeks every summer camping in tents at the Davisville campgrounds. Back then the forrest service came by your site and dropped off wood for free! We would climb red bluff and swim all day in the Huzzah. July 4th was a informal fireworks display on the beach.
