![]() The fine furnishings of Walsh Cabin.
The bird, bat, and/or rodent droppings give this simple lodging a charm of its own.
Bring along your hazmat suit and several gallons of bleach and the place could almost
be considered safe to occupy, your little home in the wildlands.

![]() Spur ridge west of the North Fork Pacheco Creek, looking south.
Most of the trees with the changing leaves are California black oak
(Quercus kelloggii). The bare branches of California buckeye
(Aesculus californica) with two pendant fruits are at lower right.
The summit just to right of top center is unnamed, but is the 2026 foot
knoll on the park map over which Center Flats Road crosses.
Burra Burra Peak just barely shows about a third of the way from
the left on the horizon.
