“i would suggest going past Trout and then dropping down to Delta's outlet. Hike up to delta and then to Otter. If you have a raft you can then raft otter and climb up to Azurite. Ive seen big fish taken out of both lakes. Then it's up to Azure, Chetwoot, Angeline (spend the night at the western camp on Angeline) then angelines outlet to Big Heart and out the normal trail.^^^^TB”
Pretty much everything is open. I think there is still a little snow/ice around Chetwoot. It's always the last to thaw.
“Robert, I just came from that area. A few ex boeing guys have been cleaning up that red pass trail (old cascade crest) for a few years now. It is in really good shape. I didnt go all the way to the pass, but the trail looks nice.^^^^TB”
MossBack. I’ve been to a Trailblazer meeting. I wanted to join, but my job takes me away from town enough during the year that I’d never make even half of the meetings. I felt bad not able to attend so I didnt go back. I could never make enough of the meetings to be elegible for membership.
Would love to see that board though.

The Burnt Boot route's gotta be a bummer.^^^^How far do you figure you are from the Goldmeyer area?^^^^^^TB
“Thanks for the info Bob. I wont talk to anyone beyond this thread about it.
If it was built in 1979 then he must have known that he wasnt supposed to be doing it. The wilderness act had been set in place by then.
It’s funny, you can walk the road to the lower lake, but nodoby ever goes up to the upper lake.
I’d like to know about all the cabins that exist in the area. I’d like to go and see them.

You guys are great. I wish I had been involved with you blazers a long time ago. As I understand it the cabin at lower tusco was repaired in a BIG way around 1980 or so. Some lone guy went in one summer and totally rebuilt the thing. I went in during the month of January one year and only when I got there did I realize that it was GONE! Glad I had my Bibler I-tent.
Yes it is a shame some dirt bag burnt it down.
I’ll take no USLESS BACK here Mr. You have more useful kowledge than I’ll ever hope to have! You keep it up please.

“THanks MossB.
I agree with BC, I think the Tusco cabin was just that. I spent many a night in there. Hell, my name was one of but four carved with WINTER months attatched to them!
I would like to see pictures of ALL the shelter cabins that once existed inside the ALWA.

Ok here is a story Ive never told anyone. I was snow shoeing around Ollalie lake in 1980. It was January of that year. As I came to the Pratt, Talupus, Ollalie junction I heard the huff huff puffing sound and looked up to see a man RUNNING in OLD long wooden snowshoes. He was wearing a coon skin cap, and some type of animal skins around his upper body. He had a lng beard and a look of steel. I swear he came out of time (read 1850’s) and went past me without making eye contact. He turned a corner and was gone.
Scared the crap out of me. I can replay that in my mind over and over and I still dont get it.
He looked like a trapper. At least my conseption of one.

Thanks so much for the information Bob.
I never made it to the lake to see the cabin. I am truly bummed about that. I cannot believe that a cabin existed in the local area that I never heard about. I used to go into the Tuscohatchie cabin often. That and the Square lake cabin too.
Bob, why do you think somebody would build a cabin at that lake location? Doesnt seem like that great a place, when comparing it to other lakes.
