A brief history... This carefree "secret garden" in the Strawberry Wilderness was developed by three friends in the hard times of 1929-1931. All were men of vision with a tremendous love of the outdoors. They were great givers to their community and families. These three friends were very instrumental in the development of the John Day and Prairie City area. All three belonged to the Shriner's and Masonic Lodges.

The Casaday's, Patterson's, and the Benson's enjoyed many happy and quiet times on their little piece of Heaven on Earth. The Benson's first cabin was a little silver trailer parked on his portion of the land.

Joyce reminisces today about the wonderful family times spent on this land. She often thinks about those times. Being carefree children, Joyce and her 2 sisters grew up roaming the 9 acres, enjoying tree climbing, swimming, tubing the river, running up and down the brook, and the many, many hours spent playing "croquet" in the yard. Another of Joyce's fondest memories was of riding their old dapple gray mare, "Rowdy".

Joyce recalls summer evenings, going with Daddy, fishing poles in hand, up to "Little Meadows' and returning home with their catch for Mama to fry up in the pan along with "Buckeroo Potatoes". Yum!! They were fun times, simple times, and shall always be remembered as, the "best of times".

Through the years, with the passing of family and friends, the sisters eventually inherited the property and then in 1991, Joyce and Terry became sole owners of the property and acquired all the cabins.

Always feeling so special to have this "little piece of heaven" to share with family and special friends, Joyce's Father's dream was always to share this in a big loving way. So Joyce decided to make her Dad's Dream come true!

After convincing her hubby, Terry, to renovate and revitalize the cabins and property, they went on a three year journey filled with long hours, very hard work and a whole lot of love thrown in while updating their little "Shangrila`".

With the tall pines and firs always casting their cooling shadows here and there, the name came easy, "Pine Shadows" and it is now ready to share with you...
