I'm in Ossian very close to Rattlesnake Hill at 1700ft elevation. We sometimes have to push the clouds over the hilltop to see the sunshine. This is our 13th year in a 20 X 24 ft log cabin.

I used to be somewhat familiar driving through that area on the way to relatives. Was at Rattlesnake Hill with deer hunters a long time ago, but I wasn't even old enough to hunt big game then.

I'm "down below the bottom of the valley," but still at 1150' elevation. House is right next to a small creek with a steep bank to the east and big hill to the west. This morning the sun came over the bank around 9 AM, went over the hill about 4:15 PM. I'm used to the lack of direct sunlight by now though. In June the sun goes over the hill at 7:15 PM and I get two hours of twilight.

Ha, I also have (had) a 20 x 24 cabin (not log) bought it in 1981, no water to it, no plumbing, fixed that all myself before moving in in April 1982. Expanded it in '89 into a 1300 sq. ft. house with 2 bedrooms (had a female living with me). I heat with wood except during the coldest 3 months or so, when I switch to coal.

Cheers!
