After we turned the corner from the ruins that I shared at the end of that post, we found this much more intact abandoned log cabin. Covered in graffiti and left to be retaken by the woods, it was clearly a really cute cabin when it was built -- 1950 if the stone in front is accurate.</p> <p><img alt="A photo of a stone engraved with 1950 surrounded by red bricks on an abandoned log cabin.
