Tiny Homes on the Move Review on BoingBoing

Tiny Homes on the Move

“As a continuation of Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter, author Lloyd Kahn (former Shelter editor of Whole Earth Catalog) brings us Tiny Homes on the Move, which showcases 90 nomadic homes made from trailers, school buses, vans, trucks, boats, and even a tricycle. Each entry includes an essay by or about the home’s creator, who talks about why and how they converted a vehicle into a house. Each dweller has a unique story…”

The Tiny Homes on the Move book got a pretty nice review over at BoingBoing.

Doug Lawson's Cabin on the Feather River

1930's cabin in Nor Cal

Hi, Lloyd,

I wanted to send this link along, in case you wanted to share it with your blog readers — it’s a series of pictures of a three-room 1930s Forest Service Cabin in Northern California, along the Feather River up near the Lassen National Park’s volcanos.

Wonderful spot — propane lights, gravity feed water, and lots of trees.

Pictures here: please feel free to use any you see fit. (You’ve been kind enough to link to the site before.)

Keep up the great work! We’ve got all your books, and can’t wait for the next. Really enjoyed hearing you talk in Santa Cruz, not so long ago.

–Doug
