Detail, dovetail construction of the Historic Log Cabin, Ghostown Blues Bed & Breakfast, Highway 271, 1 km west of Maple Creek, SK. Greg Hisey: "That's an amazing build. The axe-smith who put this together with zero gaps and every log fully scribed from one end to the other.... it's pine. The Cypress Hills burned in 1886 or 1887. One of the old ranchers down there told me that they were not allowed to cut live trees, so they had to use for building standing deadfall. That would explain why there was no chinking in it, because it was shrunk if it was standing deadfall. That kind of verifies the .time it was built. It's an amazing little cabin."
