Vistas around Corky's cabin

The morning sun rose outside the top bunk window and lit up the east-facing slope of Eagle Peak each morning.





A beautiful old juniper stands at the base of the boulders to the west of his cabin.





Wooly mule ears were everywhere. A member of the sunflower family, their seeds were ground into meal by Indians. Corky showed us the holes they dug in rocks for grinding the seeds on the forest road near a salt spring.





Granite Gilia or Prickly Phlox blooming on a boulder to the west side of the cabin.



Poem Corky mounted on the cabin wall written by his aunt, Grandma Hill's sister, about her cabin. He loved the poem as much as he loved her, and felt it could have been written sitting on the boulders outside his cabin.
