July 24, 2022 Stayed at: P09, Loop: AREA DEVILS ELBOW CABIN
A beautiful setting, although it’s important to come in and go out at a high tide due to the soft, extensive mudflats. The cabin was clean and welcoming. Didn’t need oil stove due to warm weather. Nice fire pit out front. Only complaint was fallen trees on trail between cabin and fresh water source.
