bbassi' I'm assuming that these are pictures of the lean-to at High Falls. The first time I saw the lean-to at High Falls was July 1951. Great Black Fly country. I went there with my Boy Scout troop for an overnight hike/camping outing. Returned many times to fish and hunt from that spot. Warms my heart to see that the area is still being visited. If my information is correct the lean-to has been rebuilt three times since then. Do you remember any dates carved into the wood? It's been a long time since being there. It is one of those places that's burned into my history with great memories. So glad you had a great time there. Jim Rug, the earliest date we could see on this one was 1970, but the put a raised floor in it about 5 years ago according to the ranger and there are older dates down below that are covered up for ever now. We actually slept in tents and used the lean-to for a kitchen mostly. There was a journal on there that went back to '98. It was fun to read about the "bears" (porkies) eating the outhouse at night and how the city slickers planned to deal with the "bears" if they came to the lean-to.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

This is one of our deer camps... Oh my goodness. I'd sleep on a bed of nails for a chance at a couple of those bruisers.

Hell if you can't find any Deer during the day, just walk down to Red's and dream.

It is up in the Isabella area. Camp is up the entire deer season. The heater is diesel made by pioneer space heaters. www.pioneerspaceheaters.comLast year was the first year we used it and it worked great. We used 37 gallons during the season. It was going 24 hrs. a day.

There is an outhouse tent/shower tent, but the picturers are on another computer that crashed. I have to get them off the hard drive. No maid quarters you have to clean up after yourself.

That cooler is an old one from the 60's. We use it for storage only now. That is a propane stove/oven on it. The propane tank is out the front door.

That's a great camp TJAY.
I hunted up there for deer one year...05 I think. Hunted off 7. Actually, it was more like Finland. Stayed at 9 mile lake. I'd like to go back there, but she burnt to the ground.
Shot many, many birds in Isabella.
