The West Cabin The recent acquisition of 80 acres on the south edge of the western tract of the OMBS includes a small cabin. For now we will refer to it as the West Cabin. It has a bunk bed, table, 2 chairs, kerosene lantern, and a few other items. It is sound, dry, and in a very remote location. From the headquarters it is about a one hour hike, along a marked but rough trail, through the national forest to the cabin. Once there, the cabin could provide shelter for work in any part of the western tract (180 acres). The West Cabin is locked and without electricity or water. Visitors can check out a key from the OMBS office and return the key when they return from the cabin. There are several spring-fed streams and well-developed mixed forest surrounding the cabin.
