The sky and saturation are just super. The rust can remains are typical of old cabin sites. The dump was often how far you could toss stuff.

Very interesting discussion about this area. Sounds like you have embarked an a serious quest for knowledge. Looking at your cabin shot most of the rocks stacked to make the cabin look like unusually large stone work. The builder must have been some big strong dude to lift those.
I have done a lot of family genealogy over the years, compiling information as best I could. I always felt extremely blessed when I found some relative in his or her 90s with a mind as sharp as a tack. When these people died they took 100 years of history with them, and the younger generations seemed dumb as a board with no interest in much of anything in life. I collected a lot of information haphazardly while I was working, but waited until I retired to assemble all the pieces. Many un-answered questions arose during assembly that could have been easily answered at the earlier collection time, when I did not know enough to ask. Now they were gone and the un-answered questions remain mostly un-answered.

Jim, you are on an interesting quest. I don't know how much genealogy you do, but one useful site is Findagrave which a respository for grave yard photographs and burial records. It is simple, just enter findagrave and look for "millons of graves". Then just enter the name and the place of burial, usually just county and state. It is fairly straight forward. The problem I sometimes have is that it can be touchy about names. Instead of typing in a first name, is it Will or is it William, just put in W. If you are looking for a common name like Smith, it does help to narrow down as to first name, year of death if you know it and county and state of death. I have found information beyond what I expected. And not only that, it is a fun place just to poke around on. Thanks for the images. This sort of ferretious history is frascinating, at least, to me.

I totally understand your obsession with this place, and with all the ins and outs of getting there and back. And I like your photo.
