There used to be a lot of "cabins" around here like that. Basically unfinished houses, concrete foundation, drafty, reclaimed windows... Great in the summer but miserable otherwise. Looks like they have some hot dogs and burgers ready to go. That pack of burger buns looks like they already have meat in them. I'm pretty sure the blue thing about to fall off the table is some 60s-era birding binoculars.
 
Yeah, I was trying to figure out what that was.  It looks like she's done folding the laundry "whites" - sock and small towels - and she left the clothespins near the black and blue mystery object.  I like the Lipton Onion Soup mix; she's studying the packet, probably planning on making the "California Dip".
Yes, there's no sort of insulation at all, just exposed wall studs with the outer sheathing behind them - she's got her hair-dryer cranked up though.

That was started around 1994.  I made a joke about John Wesley Powell naming things after himself, Powell Wyoming, Lake Powell... of course they came long after he'd died. Someone didn't get the joke and sent the most vile and profane email I've ever received... probably in the first 100 emails I ever received in my life.
 


Good joke! Sounds like you ran into a deranged descendant of JW with a sore need to vent randomly.

Love that "tour" of the Cybersty, Bill. Especially the navigational arrows that lead back and forth past the front of KPIG (but never actually inside).

That's a good find.  I should have known that picture was from Shorpy.  I assumed that photo was taken in some relatively urban area in the north, but I was thinking the Northeast.  Yeah, that costume must be some sort of clown or gypsy, or something like that, and then they improvised that mask.

Ummm....
