Two hundred years ago Thoreau built his famous hut on Emerson’s property by his beloved Walden Pond and lived there away from distractions of “modern” life. "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately,” he wrote, “To front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach." And I think I had this in mind when I asked a friend if I could park my recently purchased used trailer on the 47-acre farm he had recently acquired.
