Notes
Woody Boggs built this log cabin in 1999-2000, using poplar and chestnut boards from the dismantled Coffee Pot at Edwight. The Coffee Pot was for decades a community gathering place and teen hangout at the mouth of Hazy Creek. Here it is recycled into a log cabin where musicians now gather each Friday night to pick and harmonize on the porch. The wheelbarrow, made by Woody's grandfather, Joe Pettry, is positioned beneath on a window of the log cabin.
