Lost Cabin is the mine that isn't there — the Wyoming town named for the gold that was never found again, the Swedish prospectors' cabin that the Indians allegedly took. The legend is the lost lode — the rich ore samples and the dead partners, the cabin site that every search failed to relocate. John Okie built the town anyway — the sheep king's mansion in the badlands, the isolation that was the point. The gas plant is the modern industry — the Madden field and the Contango operations, the energy that's the economy now. The mansion is the survival — the sheep baron's house on the creek, the trees that are the contrast to the dry hills. Lost Cabin is the legend town — the name for the mine that wasn't, the place that exists despite the lost gold.
