Pioneer dwelling

There is a clever little route to the USA through a border crossing called Nighthawk. The turn off is between Cawston and Osoyoos and is easy to miss if you are not aware of its existence. The narrow and roughly paved road takes you through some very historic and interesting country until it comes out past the Oroville Golf Course and eventually into downtown Oroville. There are a number of structures similar to this one, scattered throughout the hills, but this log cabin/animal shelter is close enough to the road to avoid trespassing if you want a good closeup photo. The logs are rough hewn and the roof is sod, intriguing for me because my maternal great-grandparents pioneered in Saskatchewan in sod houses, not too different from this one. On this particular day in late May, the air was alive with honey bees, attracted to the fresh sweet clover blossoms.
