Stove was not warming the first night. Took apart and cleaned it and was better second night but probably needs to be fully gone through swept/cleaned

So a bunch of dope smokers were there well after the noon check in time. We showed up and they came rolling out with speakers and a backpack. Not sure if they were there over night or just the day. They all piled in to this very distinct 35’ish foot yellow inflatable boat. All kinda odd.
Anyhow the cabin is great.

The cabin was left a complete disaster. My wife and I had to scrub down the entire place. It was full of wet clothes and gear, empty booze bottles, and other trash. The fire pit was full of half-burnt cloths, cans, and plastic bottles. In all, we picked up three large bags full of garbage.

Spent 2 nights. Great place, close to town, sheltered and quiet.
Explored the forest and tide flats.
Spent a day a redoubt chasing reds.
Will be back again.
