Tom Vincent's cabin is located a couple of miles down the trail at Vincent Gap.

So, this wouldn't be the one between WW and the Table Mtn campgrounds, at least I don't think so...

Below which campgrounds? There are a number of cabins visiable from the Blue Ridge Trail that are part of an Orginization Camp.

Vincent's cabin is actually about 3/4 mile down the trail.

Rckster, do you mean the cabin south of Highway 2, and east of Mountain High East? (Government Canyon area)

Are you talking about the old pump house?

Here is a picture of it taken by bigpines on a hike we took in August:

How cool that the Spring House still survives at Guffy.  Guffy used to have piped in water from this spring and it was always a great place to get cool, clear water at the end of hike up from Wrightwood.

It's a spring house. There's a spring there. You can get spring water out of a pipe that comes out of it.
That's why there's a campground at Guffy. There's water there.
