  You could try some old maps and with known land marks cross referance, just an idea. Not knowing how large the area your talking about is it's hard to know how well this could be.



Lake Livingston is about 90,000 acres with 450 miles of shoreline. But for the river most of it south of 190 bridge is 20 to 40 ft deep north of the bridge much of it is 15 ft are less.

Hello All

Just a question to clarify some thing perhaps I have missed. Is the Lost Adams Mine story and the Lost Cabin Mine story the same legend?

Thanking you all in advance.

The Lost Cabin Mine is in the Bad Lands in Wyoming, near the headwaters of the Big Horn River, and about sixty miles from Fort Washakie, is the one that best fit's the Adams legend. But there are also stories of a lost cabin mine in Oregon and California. They are all out of my stomping grounds so I have little info on them.

Hello Seldom

I suppose there is many lost cabins abandoned at or near mine workings all over the South West that could fall into the lost cabin mine category.

Interesting all the same.

Hardluck.

All over the northwest too! Smiley I used to love exploring old cabin ruins need to revisit a few locations now with a detector.

The biggest problem with lost cabins being a tracking point is like the adams story, fire. Surviving 100+ years through seasonal fires natural and manmade in a remote location is a long shot. The great Tillamook burn in Oregon wiped out whole towns in 1932, nothing left but mounds of dirt and ash and concrete foundations. On the bright side stone hearths and foundations do survive if the miners took the time to build one.

Fire plus flood's landslides and just weathering it don't take mother nature to reclaim what is her's.
