Notes

Built in 1975 by 3 tradesmen from Ashley Forest, plus Fritz Jury, Brother Ralph White & Maurice White. Supplies were flown in by Noel Boyd, with one long load jettisoned due to severe sea-sawing. Maurice reports digging the tie-down & toilet holes was exciting. Neal Bocock (DOC ranger) reports the log burner was installed in 1993. Edit Hut
