Hi Everyone

Glad to see that a number of you have received the invite to this blog and signed up to be authors. Feel free to add info, entries, pictures, etc. Be sure to enter info about what type of supplies, food staples, work, etc. are needed...or what you did our found at the cabin. This is also a place to share fun/interesting stories about the cabin.

I'm still looking at how to best arrange a calendar for cabin use. I have looked at Google Calendars and that is a possibility, but I need to investigate the features. If you have any suggestions, let me know. One option might be through a wiki but I don't have any experience creating one.

Do you all know why "Skunk's Point?" Photo to follow after the 4th...maybe video.







Entered from the Aarchway Inn in Moab, Utah. Hope you are all well.




(Sorry to hear the sad news about Michael Jackson.)

keep in touch with each other better.

Missed the turn?

If you see this
cabin you've gone
too far. Turn around
and trace your steps
back down a ways...
about 11 miles. Have
a pancake or two and then head down another
mile. This time you turn right at the sign, cross
the bridge, down the hill. It's on the right.
