Stone Cabin - Route 271


Reader Joanne McKinney sent in this picture of her dad - Phil Swanger - 1980 - on the roof of this structure known for decades as the 'Stone Cabin'. This is located just off of Route 271. Funny, that out of the blue - she sent these great shots of the structure, because I have been doing some research on. It's known locally as a hunter's cabin - used to have a pot belly stove at one time - but having said that - it's much older - actually considerably older - as in Native American old.
Matching the GPS point with this and some of the other Native American sites I have been investigating at http://laurelhillwalks.blogspot.com/ - it matches up to other spots on Laurel Mountain in regards to keeping track of the seasons. Which means this is most likely a Native Ameican Stone Chamber. You would be amazed at what you can see and do - in regards to GPS points on Google Earth. This used to be a popular GPS cache site - until the neighbors started complaining.
