Thanks for sharing Turkeyhunter. I especially like that second one.
Here are some of ours.....
The man who lived in the prospector's cabin (2nd photo) won the Irish Sweepstakes. He moved to Vancouver and died an alcoholic in a hotel room there.
Our friend's grandfather used to live here.

And two more....
"Nine Mile Bert", an alcoholic, used to live here. They found him dead in his cabin one spring.
| 
The last of the "Seven Sisters". There used to be 7 identical cabins at the edge of our town.

I stayed at this miner's cabin, in the Panamint Valley (near Death Valley, California) on a trip in March, 2010. It's called "Osborne Cabin".
It's user-maintained and there is no charge, and can't be reserved. If you arrive and it;s empty then you get to stay in it. There are several of these in the area. It had books on the shelf, and canned goods in the kitchen. And a Cabin journal on the table. This cabin was 12x16, but it had a tiny added on bedroom about 6X10. I never saw anyone during my stay. It stormed ferociously that night, super windy and lightning, it was incredible sitting in that little stone house so far out in the desert.
I couldn't stay another day but didn't really want to leave either. So I puttered around looking for a project, or something to fix, but had no tools. I did find a wide push-broom, so I drug that pushbroom over the entire (sandy) grounds, obliterating every footprint and tire track. So the next person who arrived might think nobody had been there in months. This was my contribution to the next person, and as I did not want to leave, it allowed me to prolong my departure.
Osborne cabin, Panamint Valley, California.

Guess it all started here for me (according to the folks)
A little forest service cabin near ZigZag a few miles from Mt Hood. A getaway Dad and Mom frequented back in '48.
Talk about vintage......

I think some of the neatest small cabins are at Roche Harbor on the San Juans, WA. The cottages you can still rent are a charming piece of history.

Err couple pix near and dear to my heart.
Great grand parent's tar paper shack circa 1910 and my grand parent's house circa 1930. These are scans of negatives of the same vintage. Just love old negatives.
And a pic of an old poplar log barn. (Yes poplar does last!!) Likely about 65 years old in the pic. One of my first memories is of my dad milking cows in that barn... complete with a circle of cats waiting for a squirt from the teat.

Turkey Hunter,
I am surprised he cabin on the banks of the Big Horn River in Montana has survived all these years. I would have thought flood waters would have taken it. The banks don't look that tall. Still it is nice being that close to the water. It looks like a nice site, no shade that I can see though. Fresh fish when ever you can get them to bite, not a bad way to live.

Just got back from 12 days motorcycle ride across Utah. I saw more sad little abandoned cabins than I could count.
