| 2006.07.06 Robin Tivy Hut in good shape We observed that the hut is still in good shape on our backcountry loop trip. |
| 2004.10.16 Robin Tivy Roof and floor in good shape We got to the hut well after dark in deep fog. The roof of the hut is a green metal roof and the floor is tongue and groove planking, and clean enough to sleep on. Cabin could use a broom however. There are about 6 cold metal chairs and one table. There is a small loft upstairs, but it had a bunch of old foamies in it. the cabin is an A frame, with two windows either side of the door at the front, and one larger one at the rear. Very dark inside, even at 9:00AM due to heavy forest cover. Water within 20 m of cabin in fresh creek by bridge. Swimming in summer from beach in front of cabin. The cabin has no stove, so it tends to be a dark hole in winter. We removed some trash. The logbook in the cabin shows it is used most weekends in the summer, and almost never in late fall and winter. I meant to take a photo of it for Bivouac, but forgot. |
