Thanks, HH and RP for sharing your wonderful photos!
Here's the only photo I've seen of Camp Marion on the Dosewallips Trail
Camp Marion
It is undated (guess late 1930s or early 1940s?); source is Rooney "Frontier Legacy" p. 11.

The Camp Marian cabin was built by Fay Bunnell and Jerry Neyhart about 1922 for Frank Vincent. Frank was a famous packer (of the time) and used the cabin as a base camp. It was named for Frank's stepdaughter Marian Taylor. Fay is a shirt tail relative of mine, great, great uncle once removed or some such thing.
Lousy scans but better than nothing.

I would have loved to have seen the Bogachiel Ranger Station and barn. And I had no idea there was a shelter at Mosquito Creek that recently. What happened to it and when?

PS: Camp Marion photos are very coo. When we stopped there the firdt time we had no idea about it, but it was obvious to us the place had some sort of building at one time.

Rumi, I'm pretty sure the Mosquito Crk. shelter was gone by '84. It was located on the south side of the creek on a flat just above high tide line. At one time the flat extented quite aways upstream and during WWII was the site of a small encampment of Coast Guard personnel as part of the beach patrol. The part of the flat that held the Coast Guard camp was gone by '79 that i can remember and kept eroding away until it took the shelter location too.

Thanks for posting that Elder Bob.
Do you know the date for the letter about the Gold Creek Shelter?

Hi HJT
They are still all there. In fact I have added more that I got from RodF. Try this link:
http://www.windsox.us/VISITOR/history_buildings.html
It will take you to history of buildings and shelters. Some of the shelters are in the buildings sections.
Let me know if it is not what you are looking for.

Hi Reststop,
Closest I can guess is around November 5, 2011. RodF will have to step in and give the exact date. No date in the letter. I am going by date of file that RodF sent me.

Hi HJT
When I originally created my Elder Bob Website, I only had buildings and shelters from Gail Evans book on the Historic Buildings. I put them under my Histrory section on my Elder Bob's Website. Then I took over Cate DeShazer's web site. She had a few new shelter photos. At that time, I only had shelters that had a description on their history and condition. Then I found NWHikers and a wealth of new photos of different shelters. I added them to my Website with credit to the person who posted them. Some of hem had no additional information, so I put them on a page just for shelters. All of my shelter photos can be accessed from either my Elder Bob's or Windsox.us web sites. I give credit to those who posted the photos on NWHikers.net. Sometimes those photos were originally posted by another person, but I had no way of telling who originally posted them.

Lyle Cowles, while leading Olympic National Park trail crews, authored a series of "Trail Notes" for the Forks Forum and Peninsula Daily News in the early 1970s. These were collected into a short book, "Letters from Olympus - A Trailman's Almanac" in 1976, which includes these photos of a few of the many historic structures we've since lost from the Park.

My recollection is Lyle Cowles is the only ONP trail crew person killed on the job.
Working on the old High Hoh Bridge.
I worked with his brother (or was it cousin?) on roads about '84.

I've been doing more scanning ( )
Here is one of Elkhorn RS from 1971.
I chose white pants, since they look so sharp after walking 11.5 miles in the mud...
