| Hiya Crow! "Stopped" refers to latches or a way to secure a door. So, the "cabins without doors nor stopped" would be cabins with an open doorway, with no door at all; and cabins with a door swinging free with no way to keep it closed (latched, secured). That's it in a nutshell! Hope it helps ya! Regards, xfox

| I have the same book and I thought that "cabins without doors nor stopped" meant they used a blanket or hide instead of a wooden door, and the logs in the cabin walls were not "stopped" with mud or clay chinking...why mention the doors, which weren't there, couldn't be closed or prevented from swinging?

| Hiya LD! Glad you mentioned the blanket & hide drape. I had one of those dastardly Senior Moments and completely lost the thought while sending the reply. Probably should have stopped at empty doorway! Regards, xfox

| OH WAIT now I'm just guessing....neither doors nor stopped, may also mean no door and no hide or blanket for a door, just an opening...hence nothing to "stop" a person from entering or leaving.... so not a senior moment at all... LD

| THEN sometimes the original writer is inaccurate too. I was reading a formula the other day and the guy was talking about unslak'd lime...calcium oxide CaO...but I'm pretty sure since that stuff is very alkaline that he meant soda ash..calcium carbonate Na2CO3...since the rest of the formula was herbs...it might have been a digestive remedy...but not with the lime from what I can tell...

| Could mean ,, The door is always open to all,,If I am not there come on in ,, if I am come on it !!!!! When I was in the Cascades if you come on a cabin was very rare the door was locked and there was food and wood layed by if you needed it,,just leave it as you found it,, |
