I've often wondered about the history of that Gunnison River cabin/house and the lonely tough people who once lived there. If only the rotting boards could talk. I've looked down on that cabin dozens of times in all seasons over the years. Intriguing isolated place. I need to do some research at a local historical society. Probably wasn't near as lonely a place many many years ago as the railroad runs along the eastern bank across the river. Used to be little communities associated with the railroad down in the canyon bottom such as Bridgeport. The RR was an important link from Grand Junction to the north and Montrose, Ridgeway, Ouray, and San Juan mines to the south. The RR line in the canyon bottom is still used today
