I know about the cabin from 1955 to 1982. My family owned it, and I spent every summer of my childhood there. It was a magical place. After we lost it to the Wilderness...can't have private property there... we continued to camp at the upper lakes for many years. Big Pine Canyon is beautiful.
We have lots of memories of that cabin. My grandpa bought it in a closed bid auction. It came fully equipped with wood stove, pump, beds, lanterns and various deer heads and snow shoes. Over the years we lost many of the moveable items to theft, but the place remained a marvelous place to be.
i saw the story of lon chaney's life, as a movie (course we never really know which movies are 'right on target' but--i was so 'falling in love' as you did, when i saw the part in the movie, where is his folks went to the cabin...
i also loved seeing the sign-language, in the movie...
Both of Chaney's parents were deaf, and as a child of deaf adults Chaney became skilled in pantomime.
it is NICE to know that the cabin went on to be enjoyed...
thank you again!!!
(our whole family has been in love with cabins! )...
