Rippey Cabin in the Sipsey Wilderness in Alabama. I originally found it in 2002 by accident, hiking down what was marked as a road on a USGS map from 1971 (the most recent map at the time). It lies on private property but the owners have not posted “no trespassing” signs and supposedly view the trail as a public right of way. When I went there was a newspaper from 1947 sitting on a small table, but everyone says it was taken sometime in the mid 2000’s. Not my pic, but the cabin is still there. I think the door has been ripped off in recent years, and of course there’s trash in it now. It would be much, much worse if it were closer to a road (it’s 2.5 miles from the nearest trailhead).
