Drive towards Mountain High. Veer to the right, on Big Pines Highway, past Jackson Lake. Make a right turn on Largo Vista and park near the small pumping station on the right (about 3/4 mile from Big Pines Hwy). The road is closed to wheeled traffic, but is accessible on foot or bike. Walk about a mile to the East-Southeast along to fireroad or the wash, and you will start to see signs. Follow the water line.
You will see O.D. green water pipes and pilings that I imagine were used as foundations for the buildings. I found (and left) an old C-Rat can, as well as various pieces of lumber. The actual buildings appear to be long gone. What is striking is the almost complete lack of tourist trash. No beer cans, no disposable diapers and no wrappers. While it is far from the most scenice part of our mountains, it has peace going in its favor.
I'm going back as soon as I can, accompanied by my Whites metal detector.
