Back again

[Timbermaster]

I was back in the area and passed by this hidden cabin I discovered some years back. It sits in a ravine with large granite cliffs towering overhead. It’s so photogenic I can’t not stop and snap a few pictures each time I pass. It has quite the list to it now, I suspect it would fall down soon.

Neat old place. No telling how much longer before it all ends up in a pile of sticks.

Great shot! Almost doesn't look real!

Amazing place, gotta love it. I’m betting they didn’t dig a well. Looks like it’d take dynamite to start a deep hole.

Great shot! Almost doesn't look real!

Thank you! It is real for sure!

Did you try a record search? It would be interesting how far back it goes. Of course old records can be impossible, due to fires, floods, tornadoes, etc. Also could have belonged to a true squatter. Maybe no permission to be there, way back when.

I always enjoy these types of pictures imagining the lives and activities of the people who lived there. A hard scrabble existence I'm thinking.

It is almost certainly a prospector’s cabin. It is in a known mining district and there are small workings nearby. This could have been worked as late as the 1940’s, but my best guess is circa 1910-1920’s.
