Fure’s Cabin

Gallery | Posted on by Alex Nancarrow

I recently visited Roy Fure’s cabin, in the Bay of Islands. Fure, Scandinavian gold seeker, game hunter, trapper, and angler, used his carpentry skills to construct a beautiful cabin, windmill/food cache, and outhouse. In addition to the sophisticated craftsmanship, his cabin also had electricity which was generated by the windmill, a luxury in this remote area of Alaska in the 1940’s.

Tram towers leading to Jumbo Mine located under Castle Peak.

Riding the tram bucket! :p
The Jumbo Mine bunkhouse. Beilieve it or not, this used to be a 3 story building.
This certainly is “Hi-Country” apple juice, isn’t it?

One of the entrances to Jumbo Mine!

First set from my second trip up to Jumbo. This time I was actually able to see some of the buildings because it wasn’t covered in snow.
