Stringham Cabin

The logs of this cabin were cut by ax and hauled by team.

Forest Ranger Harry Van Tassell supervised the simple construction. Cash outlay was $203.00.

The children slept in the tent and sheep wagon. A sheep was killed by a bear within sight of the cabin. This was frightening to the children.

A trail was blazed by the children from this point for 3 miles up over the mountain to the Pot Hole area where their camp was located.

Many lonely sheepherders were in the habit of building rock monuments on the hills where they herded. All have fallen over.

Still standing 11⁄2 miles to the south is a monument built by the children of corrigated limestone rock in 1926.

Meals were served three times daily and occasionally to as many as 35 friends and family at one time by a busy wife and daughters.

Many lamb barbecues were enjoyed during the eight summers.
