Rusticpinesmn.com is owned by Katie and John Waldorf.  For the time being, it’s a platform for them to share a story with those around them, a story they are not regaling, but rather writing, one experience at a time.  The story begins with a dream and a forty acre piece of heaven nestled in the pines of the Superior National Forest, just twenty minutes north of Two Harbors, Minnesota.  Join Katie and John as they share what they learn on the road to achieving a dream come true.

Much like the land, the story is undeveloped.  They know that it will take time, perseverance, teamwork, physical labor, and a commitment to seeing the job through.  They don’t know where the land, or people will take them, but it is with great hope, that what is left in the end, is a place of respite in a busy busy world.  A place to disconnect from the social pressures, and reconnect with loved ones and friends, or quietly listen to the still, small voice within us.
