We...The second cabin is my best friend's place. We've been going out there since the late 1970's. The 1st place, well that is the original structure. Was started but never (in my experience) had more than the walls and a floor, both of which have deteriorated badly. The West wall almost fell down around 8 years ago. My buddy's place is a reconstruct (with park permission) around the original. I saw a poster mentioning that few of the original materials were used. That's because they couldn't be used. It was a rickety wood frame place covered in plaster. Over the years several fires have run through and around the cabin. In 1980 it was as thick with Joshua Trees around the cabin as it is on the valley floor. There's a lot more to be told, but I'll cut off here for now :)DAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115927153434377259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-1378355879541509242018-04-16T06:08:18.799-07:002018-04-16T06:08:18.799-07:00a like dessert = pyramid, right?great pyramida like dessert = pyramid, right?<a href="http://www.trendingcips.com/facts-mystery-of-the-great-pyramid-missing-capstone/" title="Facts & Mystery of the Great Pyramid Missing Capstone" rel="nofollow">great pyramid</a>trendingcips.comhttp://www.trendingcips.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-47982656819429195082017-09-07T17:49:32.156-07:002017-09-07T17:49:32.156-07:00I think you kinda answered that.

Why IS there private property within the Park? And if they are doing that research because those were historical structures, why are they not renovating/preserving instead of demolishing and rebuilding? But what a very interesting hike and I deeply admire your skill in finding these off the beaten track places and grateful for your sharing. I would not be able to hike in there any more (even with a good guide) so probably I really shouldn't care what they do to them. But I hate to hear of history being lost.
