knowledge of the canyon.

and you cannot rent them to oth-ers. Next, you should visit the cabin and the surrounding area so that you are familiar 
with the cabin. This is not an opportunity to be a looky-loo. It takes time to show the cabin.

Cabin 62 is in the main section of the canyon, in the Fern Lodge 
area, on the way to Sturtevant Falls. It is across the creek from the 
trail, not far from the confluence of the East Fork with Big Santa

week, always keeping the interior clean and clear-ing the grounds of 
leaves and other debris.

The space includes a main living area with rock fireplace, a small 
kitchen area, and an open bedroom. There is also an out building 
that sleeps two. The kitchen has a propane stove and propane refrigerator 
but no sink. Also included is a pit toilet.

A nice feature is the crank-operated telephone that communicates 
with Adams’ Pack Station, Sturtevant Camp, and all other cabins 
connected to the network. Cell phones usually get reception at nearby 
Tin Can Point on the trail above Fern Lodge. There is a rudimentary 
water system among the cluster of cab-ins that draws water by 
gravity from the East Fork. The current condition of the system is 
not know to us.

To the best of our knowledge the cabin includes all furniture, appliances, 
equipment, and tools.
