I have rented the "DRAPER CABIN" in M.M.S.F. for the Friday and Saturday of the outing{March 20th and 21st}. If your interested its a primitive cabin as the park site says its a ".. wooden-floored log cabin that takes visitors 100 years back in time to the days before electricity, vehicles and modern plumbing." Its not a "Holiday Inn"
...there is no running water,electricity, or modern plumbing... its a true to life "log cabin".
It has 2 rooms and sleeps up to 14 people... so if interested in stepping back in time and spending the outing weekend in the 130 year old cabin contact me... I forgot to mention the price if you want to stay the weekend... its FREE!!! This one is on me
Jeremy Kolaks {Assistant Property Manager M.M.S.F.} is going to let me into the cabin this Friday to take pictures of the inside and out. Here is the state site DNR: Morgan-Monroe State Forest
I will post photo's of the cabin this weekend for those who want to see it at Central_Indiana_GPAA : Gold Prospectors Association of America
We must stay within the 14 person limit {max # staying overnight} so
please contact me if your interested... 317-242-9921
For those not staying in the cabin we will be entering Deadmans Hollow from the East side at around daybreak to go gold panning March 21st... and having a meeting at the shelter house at 5 pm. to go over new rules from the N.R.C. for recreational prospecting in Indiana. Those spending the night will return to cabin at dusk... and repeat for Sunday! B.Y.O.B. {Bring.Your.Own.Beer!}

A group of guys I work with rent this cabin every year usually the first weekend in April and the first weekend in October. There is a outhouse about 100-150 yards or so away and a little bridge that goes over the stream (long walk at 3am when your drunk). The stream goes in front of the cabin and all the way down the side and out the back side. If It has water in it you can walk straight out the back door a little ways to the water fall. Its not huge but I thought it was pretty cool my first time there. The cabin is 2 rooms like he said with a fire place. There is a big fire pit outside in the back. We usually put about 7 or 8 tents back there and sleep there by the fire. It is a really nice place to get away for the weekend. Also if you leave the cabin and turn right you can go to cherry lake which is where we usually fish. Also draper is usually used as a hunting cabin so you can carry there.
