This photo of an old "trapper's cabin" in foreground set in a clearing of thin spruce and cottonwood forest visible behind it. Stumps, logs and cut brush litter the immediate foreground. The cache itself is composed of small logs, with a pitched roof of planks, set on a platform of small logs. The structure is supported by four slender poles approximately 20 feet high. The small size of the supports and lack of stabilizing bracing indicate it is to be a somewhat temporary structure. Lack of typical sheet metal armor on the supports to deter climbing animals may also indicate that construction is not quite complete. The access ladder is visible lying at right, propped up on a cottonwood log to keep it off the wet ground.
