Bingo! That was too easy. There was a guard station along the trail that was later used as a shelter at least according to the maps. I have never seen a photo of the original  building, but I'm sure there are some in the archives of the FS. Not much left to be seen of any structure, but pieces of a wood store and other debris litter the site, as well as wire stretched around most of the "swamp" to keep horses from  getting stuck in the muck. Your turn to post a photo!

Didn't you take that photo when you showed me that trail a couple of years ago?  I remember how icy and frosty it was that day.  I've been back once or twice.  Neat place.

Good one Kirk! I have no clue where you are, except maybe around 4000' or higher for it looks like there are huckleberry bushes in the photo.

Rob, I checked the photo info it was taken Dec 26, 2009, not sure if that was when I took you out there or not it's been years since I have been there.

I don't know how that happened, but I think I'm all boxed in! Thank you IE!

This could be a lot of places but I'll make a wild guess to get things started - Rhododendron Creek.
