The Hermit's cave, just a stone's throw from old US-6, east of Marjum Pass. Cabin was inhabited from 1920-1945/6 by the hermit, Robert Stinson. He cleared fallen rocks off the road for the highway dept., grew vegetables, raised pigs and brewed beer/moonshine with grain from nearby farmers. He also offered assistance to stranded motorists. Amazing to think this (now) incredibly remote area was once a "busy" cross-country thoroughfare.   (48/58)
