Historic Cabin at Center of Conflict

While not in our neck of the woods, we're always interested when a log cabin makes the news! The National Trust featured this as their story of the day today--it's a solid article outlining the challenges faced by preservation organizations when preservation and wilderness advocates come face to face in the woods. In this case, the cabin in question is the Monte Wolfe cabin in the Eldorado National Forest in California. Although determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, wilderness advocates argue that the mere existence of the cabin in the Mokelumne Wilderness violates the Wilderness Act of 1964.
