I was scanning the Cascade Range, way off the grid. Deep inside a restricted watershed area. And there it was. A cabin. Not marked on any topographical map. No roads leading to it. No power lines cutting through the canopy. Just a 12-by-12 structure, swallowed alive by the forest.
I was scanning A mountain Range, way off the grid. Deep inside a restricted watershed area. And there it was. A cabin. Not marked on any topographical map. No roads leading to it. No power lines cutting through the canopy. Just a 12-by-12 structure, swallowed alive by the forest. Naturally, I did what any obsessed internet detective would do. I packed a bag, drove four hours until my cell service died, and hiked the remaining six miles on foot.
The hike took longer than I thought. By the time I broke through the tree line and found the clearing, the sun was dipping below the mountains, casting everything in a sickly, bruised purple light. It looked abandoned. Dead. Safe.
I walked up the rotting wooden steps. The air smelled of damp earth and old pine. I pushed the door open—and immediately became intrigued by the century old set up I had found in the wilderness. The Only information I could find was a name etched into the concrete foundation the cabin shrouds and hides from the outside. Reading A.J. 1928... I Looked further around the surrounding area and found a pipe shooting water 6' into the canyon going at a very high-pressure speed. Millions of gallons have to be running a month... I am not sure what exactly I stumbled upon, but it is evident nearly a century later if not long this pipe has been bursting with water. Where it goes or who and why it is still left on after all these years still is yet to be determined. Not A mountain man's cabin that I suspected but something far more unusual with zero answers that have just been sitting and waiting in the middle of the forest for well over 100 years. A strange place indeed and a site of the likes I have never discovered before. Leave a comment and let me know what you think and how this particular area operated over 100 years ago and why the water is still left on after all these years strangely...
Thank you, my friends, this is one you don't want to miss!!
