I wasn't looking for this but found it off-trail in an "undisclosed location". I don't intend to write up the location of the cabin for publication but if you want to know how to get to it you can send me an email and I'll tell you where to find it. It's actually pretty easy to get there.

Do you own that plane? I haven't followed all the posts over the past year or so. Just curious.
If so, have you ever taken your plane to Lake Isabel? Or driven one of your vehicles up there??
My ex-husband and I once tried to climb Mt Baring in a Jeep Wagoneer and almost made it. Well, maybe not quite.

This looks like a very "homey" place to over night it.....

.... I don't know.
Maybe have to throw a tarp over it if it rains.
Difinitely a fixer upper.
Karen, Was that car found near the cabin? Could be some neat-o stuff hiding in the bushes.

It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.

Don't tell anyone about it, or it will turn into a meth lab!

Wed Feb 05, 2003 11:57 am Newbie, the old car ....
|

is situated in a different location. The car is right off a road (I think it's the Sauk Store Road near Concrete). If it's not THAT road it's one of the nearby roads marked dead-end that lead to the river. You'll see the car on your left and on your right an old abandoned trailer and a collapsed building but it was so brushy we didn't attempt to go into them.
However, there were a lot of things laying near the cabin which is not accessed from a road -- an old bath tub, sinks, a faucet sticking out of the brush, and pieces of machinery that I couldn't identify for the life of me (maybe some guy could).
Stefan, we approached the old cabin with some trepidation (we thought of meth labs too) but it doesn't appear to be anything like that and I won't disclose the exact location of the cabin except by private email for that very reason. I'd hate to see it turned into one though the cabin is so frail that I don't think anyone could make much of it. I know you can't walk to it yet but when you are up to hiking again let me know and I will email you and tell you where to find it. It's only about 3/4 of a mile.

That cabin looks alot like a shelter I spent the night in during a monsoon hiking on the upper Elwah. I had to rig 2 tarps, 1 inside, 1 outside to stay dry. I know that you said the cabin was in the North Cascades, but I could'nt help but notice the resemblance.

Ha! I can walk to it. I have been walking for the past month, just not climbing......
I also don't have have enough strength to kick someone in the behind yet.
I would like to see it. You can email me on this board. Thanks!
