I walked around a portion of the neighborhood this morning searching for a good lookout point. I was disappointed to find that all of the great vistas were crowded out by cabins bunched together. Everywhere you could walk out and get a better look was someone else's land. It is not a surprise that all of the good spots would be claimed, but it is somewhat disappointing that there are no public clearings anywhere with a bench or two, which would have been nice. I figure I'll explore another section of the neighborhood, but the the entire north end, which will have ridges with a view of the lake, was a no go.
There was this one house hidden down in the back behind some trees. It was this huge, monolithic, fortress of a cabin. Just huge blank faces of wood with narrow slots of stained glass going down the sides. This fortress-like or castle-like building was almost brutalist in nature. There was this huge outspread carved eagle above the garage, and a barbed-wire fence in the back. It looked like a military installation but it was a cabin. So strange.
