During 1920, L. O. Hedlund was prospecting a claim 1.5 miles north of Gowganda Lake. The claims were around McLoughlin Lake which has since been drained by blasting in aid of the waterpower supply of Gowganda Lake and is now represented by a marsh. Highway 560 runs right through it west of town. It's in fairly good shape but it has a tin roof that doesn't look as old as the cabin. He may even left his most important item behind the coffee pot.

He must have been a big hurry to get out of there! Leaving his coffee pot! Craziness. I love the angle. the video didn't work btw =(
As a little tidbit to the Hedland cabin, Alec Pope and his second bride, a local native woman, spent their wedding night in that cabin in 1939. Mr. Pope was in possession of the cabin at that point in time. Ask Richard Beadman about the story next time you see him. N.
and then please tell the story-I would love to read it!
