This is the cabin my first wife and I rented when we were married in August of 1975, while working on the Orleans Ranger District of the Six Rivers National Forest. It had three rooms--bathroom, bedroom and kitchen combined with a small living room. It was all heated with a pot belly stove. Don't remember the monthly rent, maybe $100 or less. It was a 5 or 6 mile drive up the Klamath River on Highway 96 to Orleans and a 2 hour drive to Arcata/Eureka. We had 4 dogs that I remember living with us and our son, Jason was born in October of 1976. This picture taken during a dusting of snow in the winter, but not sure of the year.
