Hey, you could say unibomber, or you could say thoreau, right?
My head immediately went to the Thoreau and not unibomber generalization. I'm rooting for this person. There's a part of me that would love to live off the grid. Based on my survival skills I would last a week. Maybe.
Isn't this a defeat though? His paradise has been found, he's been kicked out of whatever little slice of peace and quiet he managed to build for himself. Who knows how long that cabin took to build, how many peaceful afternoons that are now just memory?
Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.
Find a new paradise. West Coast's got a whole lot of forests. I honestly feel that the feeling of having built the place and being solely responsible for it and everything would be one of the best parts. It would be such proof of your abilities and independence. I would do it twice if I had to.
according to bhrgunatha's comment (which links to imgur) the person(s) vacated the property. Cool that the authorities left the note and allowed for a peaceful conclusion. Bummer that it had to come to this. I hope "Thoreau" found a new home... one that might not get logged for another century.
