Porcupine Hill sits atop Bishop Creek’s northern fork. The area includes a grouping of six-(6) Forest Service leased cabins. Access is via a narrow dirt road, more easily walked then driven. The access road is not plowed, so you’ll need a large truck with a plow hitch to get to your cabin in winter, that is—if the creek don’t rise and the snow don’t build up too much. Remote is the only way to describe this area.
These cabins go back to the early 1950s, and are as rustic as what can be seen in classic westerns; think of the cabin in “Shane." These cabins are all well made, have “good bones,” and lot’s of charm. One of my favorite spots to hike into and explore.
The creek offers some great vistas and wonderful fall colors.

About a mile and a half of a hike later, you come to a grouping of cabins.
I’m pretty sure the dart board on this cabin represents a fairly recent acquisition. Not too historic.
Solid “dovetailed” log joinery and hand-troweled chinking.
Visitors, intruders (?), are under the watchful eye of a yellow mountain cat.
Did I mention that these cabins were classic, as in no running water? Well, here’s a picture of the “facilities.” Best view of any "water closet” I’ve ever visited! And, it’s not a prop, as a photo journalist, I confirmed it for you all. My emails are not “fake news”!
Till we meet again.....
