While I haven't used the Mudcat dorm as a traditional mudcatter stay, I have to say that I have used this room during scorching summer afternoons to find some relief from the heat and the world. There's something special about that space that I found to be relaxing in more ways than one. On one occassion, I was trying to read a book but found I was distracted by the sounds of the countryside....birds chirping, cows mooing in the distance...very peaceful. Another time I set up my laptop and played my violin for hours....completely uninterupted. On yet other occassions, I went to help Susan set up this or that...always enjoying her space and always still finding a minute or two of quiet from the outside world.

    I think Hardi and WYS have something special there and I hope those folks that have been priviledged to share it, have enjoyed it as much as I have.
