I found the remains of this very old cabin off trail, high up in the mountains a few months back, nestled in the trees on the edge of a remote lake system. It looks as though the construction was abandoned, whether the builders season ran out and they succumbed to the cold or they found a better location, who knows!
Old cabins like this remind me of Dick Proenneke, who lived and built a log cabin in the Alaska wilderness, if you can get a hold of the video or book titled “Alone in the Wilderness”, of this amazing man, you’ll be awed at what can be achieved without the conveniences of the modern world. I’m half tempted to go finish what the builders of this structure started 😉

I love these kinds of finds. I am always taken back in time when I see them. I try to think about who lived there and what it was like for them. Well done.
Nice find. A great perspective. I like the greens
Amazing shot. Really really great, good PP also.
i love sights like these; a fine shot.
an amazing image of things aging!
makes me think about the people that used it once.
Great shot. I like the angle you shot from and the details in the image are very sharp.
Excellent light!
Very nice shot Will. That is definitely not a “kit home” – those logs were felled/cleaned up by hand. Such a shame that they never finished it.
I've seen the movie about Mr. Proenneke, amazing story. And he was like 50 years old when he set out to do that!
