Everyone has a fish story to tell, and mine is uniquely original. I was living alone in a one-bedroom apartment on the shore of Clear Lake in California. Specifically, Lakeport, Calif. I had been hired as the sports editor for a three-section, bi-weekly newspaper, the Lake County Record-Bee and I was responsible for the eight-page sports section.

Winding Trails by Al Hobart – Emily Cabin – Davis’s

Away to the west of the Chetco-Illinois River divide, in a dark, wooded section of the Little Chetco canyon, many years ago, when the hardy gold seekers of that day were back there reaping a golden harvest, a sturdy little one-room cabin with an open lean-to attached to one end was built beside the trail not far from the river.  It was always called the “Emily” cabin.
