I observed Tim's place. His estimate of the parking situation
seems optimistic to me, though doubtless he knows the situation
better than I do. Be prepared for a considerable walk and/or
frequent car rearrangements, and unscheduled delay in leaving.
Tim's house is on a long, one lane track, somewhat east of the
back of beyond.
You recall the house in the cartoon "Courage, the cowardly
dog"? Now imagine that same house, and rotate the landscape
seventy degrees so that the house is stapled to the side of a
mountain and the road dug into the side of a mountain.
