"The Josie Morris Cabin is the final destination of the Tilted Rocks Auto Tour. Josie established her homestead here in 1914. She raised and butchered cattle, pigs, chickens and geese. She canned vegetables from her large garden. Her source of heat for her cabin was wood, her water came from a spring, and light from an oil lamp. Josie lived a 19th century lifestyle well into the 20th century. For Josie, the benefits of isolation she experienced living here were solitude and the beauty. The risk of such isolation was a mortal accident. In 1964 Josie suffered a broken hip while feeding her horse on frozen, slippery ground. Shortly after Josie's accident she died at the age of 90."

Gorgeous shot and truly fascinating information, thank you for the education.
Thank you Shanna for sharing this photo and story on 'Weekly Top Shot.' I love the textured post and the soft out of focus cabin beyond. Josie sounds like a woman I would have like to have known, strong, independent and willing to live life on her terms.
love that fence!!!
