In early 2026, I visited the Stone Canyon Cabin of the Imlay Mine. There, I found a water-stained register containing a fun history of the folks who had visited since 2002, as well as some of the work that had been done to the cabin after it was adopted. I always like to archive this sort of information, as there's no telling when it will be "borrowed" from the cabin or otherwise meet some untimely demise.
If you've been to the Stone Canyon Cabin, I'd love to hear your story in the comments below, and if you find a transcription error, please let me know!

WELCOME FRIENDS TO THE STONE CABIN....PLEASE DO NOT ENJOY A FIRE HERE.... THE PLACE IS CURRENTLY UNDER RENOVATION AND IS VERY PRONE TO FIRE. PLEASE DO NOT USE THE LUMBER IN THE WASH OR AT THE MILL. WE WILL SOON REPAIR THAT TOO. PLEASE HELP US BY COMPLETING LYGEIA'S ROCK GARDEN. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE TRAIL LINED A MILE IN EACH DIRECTION. ENJOY YOUR STAY!

People who line trails with stones have WAY to much time on their hands. There used to be lots of backcountry cabins before the BLM burned them...

6 Feb 2005 Rich² + Dana, Rich¹ and Lola hiked up from Minietta Cabin to do minor repairs, remove BLM sign and post visitor information. Lots of burro droppings in the canyon but didn't see any this trip. Still snow in shade on top of hill.
6 Feb 05 Adopt-a-Cabin coordinators — Rich & Dana with Rich² visited the cabin for a seasonal inspection. At the BLM's request, the cabin outdoor sign was removed. 2 placards and a red warning sheet were posted. Condition of cabin is fine, we will repair the two chairs on next visit. Sunny day, cool breeze — no burro sightings.

Fixed window in north wall — plexi and frame were on the floor — probably wind again. Cool old rustic cabin — these are the best!! Mad Coyote is fixing door as I write this. Then... hiking back down.

I came up here with my friend Rich who loves the desert. I've heard about the cabins for years and wanted to see them. I have come up here expecting not to like the desert, and all my expectations were met. But this part of the desert is no worse than any other part, and probably better than some parts.

1) Use existing roads to facilitate remove of all 'Lipstick' trail. Including, perhaps, even this shithole cabin.
2) They use lead weights in adjacent military death camp to X-terminate Equine burro fur pampers.
3) Following then w/ close all these roads 4-ever and
4) close adjoining military death camp w/ their incessant costly noisy wasteful destructive flights in God only nose what else!
5) Kick back 'n Njoy Nature.

Third cabin this week. Spent 1 night at Ashford Canyon mine. Heavy wind. Moved into cave at midnight. Cabin still standing the next morning.
2 nights at Morning Glory camp in Trail Canyon. Hiked up canyon (very rough) to mine and old cabin. Down the road. Now here.
Cabin seems to be going downhill. Most windows out now. But enjoying. Just finished 'Tarzan of the Apes' which I borrowed from Morning Glory. Seems appropriate here, only burros instead of lions.
Sunday morning — Cold! First sun rays at 6:50 AM.
