Comments: This is a USFS LO. The LO is closed but the grounds are
accessible to visitors. A USFS employee told me this LO is scheduled to be
dismantled. However, there is no money in the Eldorado NF budget to do so at
this time. There are 4 structures on the site.
1>the LO
2>Fire Watch's residence
3>garage/barn/workshop
4>some sort of high raised platform with 2 large tanks. Water?
Directions>
From Jackson, Ca drive EAST on California 88 to HAM's STATION. The dirt road
to the LO is across the highway just WEST of the posted private property.
The LO is 1 to 2 mi up the dirt road. 2wheel drive can make it easy.
I have .jpg photos
How can I get them to this website ??
