The camp, located near Barber's bay, is on the west side of Highway 51, north of Stoughton, yet is but a few minutes walk from the "waterfront" and for those who desire boat privileges at their cottage door have it; for Mr. Halverson has completed a canal project with a waterway of such depth that one can row or canoe from the lake up the artificially made stream to the log cabins.

The log cabins has been in the process of construction for some time; hence the row of attractive structures already is a familiar sight to local motorists. It isn't until one visits the camp, however, inspects the cabins and contemplates the engineering job involved in the construction of buildings from the original oak timber that the size of the project is fully appreciated. Neither blue print nor plan could be employed in preparing the timbers, taken from the Harold Halverson farm a few miles away. The timbers were cut to dimension with a portable saw, and the accuracy of the millwork is reflected in the perfect alignment of the buildings.

Each cabin incorporates all the essentials of a modern bungalow including garage shelter for car, gas facilities for cooing, electric lights and a store just a few feet away. The store is in the largest of the seven log structures and embraces all lines of groceries as well as confectionery lines, cigars, tobacco, etc. A gasoline pump and storage tank also have been installed.

Aside from the attractive finish of the interior of each cabin, the serviceability is heightened by the completeness of furnishings including folding cots for four adults, table, chairs and gas plate for cooking. Barafax gas obtained through the Daylight Hardware of Stoughton is used. Mr. Halverson states that the gas is identical with natural gas in point of handling; it is nonpoisonnous hence there is a minimum of danger should jets be left unused. The cost of the gas is nominal, in fact only 2-1/2 cents per hour for a four inch plate.

A feature of the Halverson log cabin camp is it's adaptability to cold weather use; this has been secured through the use of Beiselcraft building paper furnished by the Brittingham Hixon Lumber company; the paper was attached to the rough studding, and exposed to wind and rain for some time before siding was applied, yet the paper did not tear. The paper was used even under the flooring, hence the cabins are sealed practically air tight. Coolness in summer is assured through cool lake breezes and winter comfort will be provided by heating facilities yet to be installed in each cabin.

It is the plan of Mr. Halverson, who until this year has devoted all his time to his farm a few miles away, to conduct the camp as an all institution, and to this end has had built as an integral part of the store, a dwelling for his family.
