Hi everyone. This weekend my husband and I got away and had a wonderful time. We accidentally stumbled onto an off the grid vacation spot named Eco Park it is at the base of Mount Saint Helens in Washington any one who is intrested in getting off the grid and is in the area needs to go to this place. We stayed in one of the log cabins but they also have a yurt available the cabins were powered with propane heaters, lights and cooktop, as are the yurts with the exception of a wood stove. The restrooms were propane also with hot water and propane toilets, the park owners house is also off the grid as is the resturant (wonderful food) the resturant had a gravel floor it was full of character. But mostly the owners were so nice and were willing to answer any questions. After visiting all my fears about going off the grid have been removed. The opportunity to stay in an off grid cabin and seeing the owners quality of life removed my fears. The web site is ecoparkresort.com If you are in the area this is a must see, also does anyone know of any other place like this.
