There is nothing left of the original town. The lodge was built some time recently and abandoned. If you look around you can find where the town used to be, by the rocks and timber piled up. The lodge is standing and fairly sturdy, though it has been vandalized heavily. It is a two mile hike from the road, the easiest way is to follow the “closed” road down and follow the fence to the right of the road, that will take you to a trail that will lead straight to the lodge.
