Or if the river decided to flood. :P
Looks really isolated. I think I'd be afraid to live so far out from other neighbors.

Well, it isn't what I thought her house would look like either, and I have to say, it looks like an industrial sheet metal plant.

I'm not sure if her interview with the Paris Review has been posted, but there's an interesting bit about this book, and her next book:
I’m all done with writing Wyoming stories at this point. I don’t know what I’ll write about next. I’ve already got two other books under contract that I’ve got to finish. One is a history of putting this property together—part autobiography and part survey of the land that Bird Cloud is on. And there’s a novel about logging and lumbering from Prince Edward Island to New Zealand that I’ve got to get to. I’ve been collecting materials for years, trying to figure out where I want to hit. It started about twenty-five years ago when I was driving through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and I came up to a sign that said on this site stood the greatest pine forest the world has ever known and now there’s absolutely nothing left of it. So that got me thinking. The story will span from the northeast corner of North America down to the Pacific. But Wyoming won’t be included in the book. Even if I keep living here I won’t want to write about Wyoming. I want to write about something else. I have a short attention span.

I don't think very much of it, either.
When I move out West I want a log cabin.

I for one knowing that I had plenty of money, and time. Would never come up with
that monstrosity. It is the most boring, and uninteresting looking building to live in
I think I have ever seen. It must be a reflection of the person herself. Self obsorbed,
self involved and cold of heart.
Sorry for those of you that adore her. I just happen to not be one of those.
