This old cabin housed the Forest Service Rangers who patrolled the forests, often on horseback, checking timber and livestock permits, helping neighboring cabin dwellers and the public, much like today. Recreation Hiking, wildlife sightings. Mountain bike riding, ATV/UTV access. Facilities Full Kitchen stocked with pots, pans, baking dishes, plates, glasses, cups, silverware, etc. Two bedrooms - two full beds. Flushing toilet.
