Malone58 Report post Posted June 17 We came up a road from the west side out of the Cienaga ranch. Takes you right to it on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has a small well behind it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malone58 Report post Posted June 18 That is actually not what I remember. What we saw had a roof and intact walls in 1990-92. There was a table in the front room and bunks in the sleeping room. There were carvings on all the wood walls. I will keep looking and post what I find ya'll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The boy scout cabin has a roof, walls, table and bunks in it too. What a coincidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’ve got to be thinking about the little cabin up in Apache canyon if you drove to it east of Empire Ranch. You had me thrown when you said it was at the top. No roads or structures up top that I know of Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sky Island junkie Report post Posted June 19 The top pic in roofer Billy’s post is a cabin that was built about 120 years ago by a family that homesteaded that area. The Feds recently kicked out a squatter that was a Buddhist who lived in it for quite a while. We called him ol blue. But this place is definitely not near the upper reaches, it’s in the bottom of Wakefield canyon 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
