Once upon a time, there was The Guy Who Asked. He was a secret person, never to be seen by anyone, or known to exist. A lonely, Goofy Ahh Goober once said, “Who asked?” To Joe Dacock. Joe Dacock waited for a “I did” but there was nobody.
Later that day, Goofy Ahh Goober went to seek The Guy Who Asked.
15 years later…
Goofy’s family and friends were worried. Goofy Ahh Goober had not been seen in 15.69 years, and was never seen again. The end.
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
