Stay left and go .1 mi to the Rocky Basin Creek
Bridge 52.9 mi
Go .1 mi to the old home site which was Cow
Camp 53 mi.
You will see big blue letters RB on the large Cedar Trees… This is the home site
at Cow Camp
From here you can get a good lay of the land, which is mostly level and has lots of new growth trees.
At cow camp you will see the old remnants of the old cabin, the large BBQ pit, the hand dug well and such.
If you orientate yourself
with the cabin site and go east you can locate the NE 1/16 corner and the USFS
Boundary Markers.
If you position yourself at the Cabin site you see a road that heads north. Walk
or drive up this road and you will find the north
line marked by flagging and the USFS markers. This land was logged 5 years ago
so you can tell a bit about the property lines
from the fresh cut stumps.
Going back at the bridge you
can locate the west boundary line of that 40 acres by walking to the west to
where Rocky Basin
Creek meets Gerle Creek.
This area is an excellent
hunting, fishing and recreational vehicle paradise.
When the snow comes, snowmobiling, snowshoeing & cross country skiing are just
some of the fun things to do here. When the
heavy snow arrives, you will have to snowmobile into the property.
There is no cell service in this area… so plan accordingly. Spare tire, water and such
Note::: if you are going from Highway 50..... At Pollock Pines go 9 miles east to the Ice House Road and take it up to where you
see the Wentworth Springs Road and continue from there on Ice House road using the directions above.
