Pardee Pioneer House

This place was the best find of today's adventures. The home is a very simple two room cabin located in a clearing. Many personal belongings were left behind. A woman's purse and a metal lunchbox were among the finds. Readers Digests from the early 1960's suggest that this property has been abandoned for several decades. There were many newspapers and magazines written in the Finnish language. The outbuildings on the property indicate that this was a small farm at one time.

Many homesteading families that tried to make a go of it in this area. The road is now a narrow dirt road used by hunters and fishermen, with very few people still living out in the area.
