FS staff were very helpful! Water pump was out when we arrived, and was fixed it same day as we called. Cell phone service, as noted, can be had just north of the Black Mountain lookout, short hike to it from the road; also just below Buck Point, on FS 12 road, 17 miles east of the cabin. Great supply of maps and books!

Great location and quiet, almost too quiet. Enjoy the coyotes call in the morning about thirty minutes after sunup.
