Hey George......
I wish I had taken some pictures; however, this site that I speak of is a site that I have been visiting for a number of years. The area is accessible by climbing over a couple logs, walking underneath a fallen log, through trees and ferns.
This is my 49th year of backpacking; I started when I was fifteen.
It's not large enough to support more than a horse and mule so a trail crew would not use it. I venture to guess that it was a spur of the moment stop by a packer.
I spoke with a ranger on Saturday at lower Rock Creek and she mentioned that she has stayed at the site many times and was disappointed in what I had to say. As with people, either be hikers or packers, there are some that violate rules.
Oh, by the way, miserable 4 days in the backcountry..... at one point, it rained from 5am on Friday to 11am on Saturday. During this time I was doing some cross country hiking from Rocky Basin Lakes, up and over the ridge down to Siberian Basin and then picked up the PCT to Lower Rock Creek. Miserable, miserable!!!!!
