Aging hikers cabin near Ketchikan to be replaced
Published Sunday, May 11, 2008
KETCHIKAN -- A Ketchikan-area cabin that's sheltered scores of hikers for 46 years is set to be replaced this summer.
The aging cabin is in the Ketchikan-Misty Fiords Ranger District.
Eric Abele, a ranger district official, says the work will be done in July, snow level permitting.
Meanwhile, all but the top of the cabin remains buried under one of the deepest Deer Mountain snowpacks in recent memory.
The cabin, which has been in poor condition, was built in 1962. It was a replacement of a structure built in the 1930s.
