This tumbling-down cabin remains a mystery to us.  Who lived here?  When?  And, why?  If you know more about this cabin, please post it to this cache page.


Congrats to Hikermama3 for FTF !!!

After finding the cache, take time to look for the natural spring and remnants of the old corral nearby.

Well you know after finding the half way cache that you will certainly want to continue to this one also. It is well worth the added distance to see this area as well.
Got to GZ and and saw my gps spin in circles but with the hint soon had this cache in hand.
As I was replacing the cache I heard what I thought was a faint bugle sound. As I left the old structure which I have several pictures of, I look up the meadow about 400 yards and see a large Elk herd. Well after several more pictures and just enjoying the view it was time to head back down. This will be a nice memory of why I geocache. Again thanks for placing these caches and bring me to this place. Fav Pt

In Breckenridge for a few days. Had a great hike up to the old cabin. That's a pretty steep trail! I had fun playing with the little stuffed black dog in the cache. So I took a few pictures and then put him back for the next cacher. Thanks! 1:54:00 PM%
