The cabin was clean and in great condition. Bonus- I was expecting dirt floor and was pleasantly surprised to see concrete. If we're lucky enough to pull another permit I'll definitely reserve again.

I've been to Sand Wash several times over the years, and whoever is managing the cabins there now is doing a great job. Those pit toilets were sparkling clean and the cabins were swept and extremely well kept. Good job!

We stayed at the Bradley Cabin the night before our April 24 launch on the Green River, Desolation - Gray Canyons. The river was still coming up, so there were no pesky bugs to speak of, as of yet! The cabin allowed our small group of 7 to base from the location - an easy carry/walk to the launch area.
After an inspection and briefing from Ranger Corey, who was on his way down river in search of several collared deer who'd gone missing, we launched on 7,200 cfs at 10:20 am. We caught up with Ranger Corey again at Jack Creek camp - he'd found one carcas, but the second eluded him.
We also camped at Steer Ridge, Trail Canyon, Above Wire Fence #1 and School Section and ended our trip at Swasey's takeout Day 8, with 11,000 cfs. All in all, it was a terrific spring trip!

With the mosquitos this year, it was invaluable to have the screening cabins and it was very much appreciated to have them.
