How many of us enjoy Minnesota's natural resources? How many of us have visited a cabin "up north" somewhere, or enjoy fishing, hunting, camping, boating or hiking? If you are looking forward to the beginning of the summer season as much as I am, there is a great way to celebrate: the 57th Annual Governor's Fishing Opener. ... [Read More]

SHERRETT. Photographs of typical cabins in our forest. The one that has an outbuilding that you can see in the picture is owned by the president of our Forest Homeowners Association in Mt. Hood. He's just down the road from us. And the outbuilding that you see is an outhouse. He has no indoor plumbing. I also have original photographs of the road next to our cabin in Mt. Hood showing the effects of the 1996 rainfall that we had in the Winter that caused severe flooding in Oregon. We have a major washout along our road that exposed a water main that serves 564 cabins in the forest. The Forest Service had, as they have said, no responsibility for this road, the repairs to this road, and the risk to the water system that served all the cabins was assumed in total by the Lady Creek Water System which is paid for completely, privately, by all the cabin owners. ...

Hearing on H.R.3327, Cabin User Fee Fairness Act of 1999
H.R. 3327 will establish a new appraisal process to set a fair fee for Forest Service cabins. Under the formula established by the bill, appraisals would be based on the raw value of the land, adjusted for structures and services provided by the Forest Service. The Cabin User Fee Fairness Act will address two major concerns with the current appraisal process. First, the appraisal methodology currently used by the Forest Service is not arriving at the appropriate value of the use of a lot by a cabin owner. Federal property differs from private land in that the owners do not maintain the same rights and privileges to their property as those held by private landowners. For example, permit holders cannot make modifications to the land or their cabin without the approval of the Forest Service; they cannot reside in their cabin on a year round basis and they cannot deny others access to the land on which the cabin is built. In contrast, a cabin owner on private land c ... [Read More]

A glimpse of the River's past can also be seen on the landscape. A stone wall, a steel ring, a cabin or a metal bridge recalls earlier times. Dakota, Ojibwe, voyageurs, loggers and settlers have all known this river. Whether solitude or a shared experience is desired, you too can come to know this river. Today, we hope that the river leaves its mark on you, but that you do not leave a mark on the river. ... [Read More]
