In a different time, Dorothea Lange used to spend months of her year, amidst extraordinary simplicity, beauty and wildness, living in small cabins overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Her book "To a Cabin" captures a time and place I long for in our fast-paced lives. The cabins are now owned by the Parks Dept, they are simpler (pretty much camping without a tent), but are rentable. I spotted them from a beach last summer, drawn by their starkness, camouflage, remoteness and views. I decided to learn more about them and stay there if we could. We have been twice this summer for short stays, each time we have stepped into the bliss of a wide and wild ocean in every direction. Rocks to climb, a driftwood and flotsam filled beach to explore and virtually no one else there. A wood burning fire to warm the cabin at night and always a view of the sea.
