I was out of town for a long weekend, gone up to northern Indiana to show our Kenyan interns another kind of organic farm. A few families live there together, one in an old farmhouse, one in a mobile home, one in a modified corn crib, and one in a second-hand 30' Pacific Yurt. In this case, second-hand means better than new, because the first owners put so much of their love, work, and identity into making their own.
My own descriptions cannot do it justice, so I'll leave that to them (cause I've prodded them to join the forum).
I want to note, though, that the experience they relate, and how their family of four has grown into their yurt, are a story and a situation that sold us on how great yurts can be.
Additionally, my wife's dad is the administrator of a camp near there that has also made good use of a 30' PY, a 30' CY, and a whole village of stick-frame yurts. They create a unique experience for children
and adults at the camp.
My point is, you may have
no idea what kind of an impact you make on someone visiting your yurt. People who have no concept of anything beyond a standard stick-frame will be shocked, skeptical, curious, and finally inspired by the possibilities that yurts embody.
We who are yurt-owners are emissaries of the wide-open world of living in the round, and I'm delighted to be in the club
