After a few years of negotiations, it has finally been sold to the Forest Service and will become public land. As of this writing, the houses, cabins, and other structures up there have been demolished. I feel very lucky to have gotten up there a couple times this summer before everything got torn down.
Norm is taking it pretty hard as he's lived up there nearly year-round for the last 4 or 5 years, not to mention spending all the summers of his childhood up there.
Here's a photo tour of the place and some of its regulars.

Duke
Max...
...and Max
Even though they're easily distinguishable, I think they need to, um, duke it out (sorry Duke) to determine who's the better of the Maxes. Just ask Jesse 1 and Jesse 2 about that.

Ben's puppy Buckshot
The dam
Poor crime scene management
Wandering around
I think it's hilarious
The observatory
Funky antennae and chimneys
Last light at a special jewel in the mountains
