The cabin was filthy and so we cleaned for the first hour... we also hauled a full trash bag a old food away when we left. Another surprise was there was no toilet paper in the shitter. Fortunately, we carry an emergency supply.
We had a really cool visit by a half dozen Whooping Cranes and the colony of white-tailed prairie dogs just north of the cabin was a kick to watch. The river is gorgeous and over the three days saw only a few people.

If you are coming from the east I would encourage you to ignore the Forest Service directions to the cabin. You can save over 100 miles of driving by going towards La Barge. One mile south of La Barge take Highway 315 (the La Barge Road) which will turn into Greys River Road. The first 10.5 miles are blacktop, and the balance is better gravel road than going all the way north of Afton to Alpine and then taking Greys River Road from Alpine 45 miles to the cabin. I was told that the La Barge Road was impassable in June due to a snow avalanche site on the road. It turned out to be not true. There was one spot on a slight incline where snow was 3 feet deep for a distance of about 50 feet, but directly above the snow about 15 feet higher than the snow a gravel road was cut above the snow line. In about 150 yards you are right back on the road, no snow anywhere else for the entire 49 miles. An elderly man who happened to drive by the cabin when I was walking with my dogs told me that. I'm pretty sure that this route is perfectly good by May 1st as there was not a speck of snow on the road anywhere else.
What the description says about the cabin is otherwise very accurate. And there is no grocery store in La Barge, and Alpine is a 2 hour drive due to the rockiness and potholes on the Greys River Road so it's best to have everything with you that you will need for your stay when you get there.
