On 8/17/72, [REDACTED], residing at [REDACTED], Georgia, furnished the following infor- mation.
During the first week of November 1971, he was on an elk hunting trip in the northeastern portion of the state of Oregon. During this hunt he ran across a log shelter cabin and a cache of survival gear located in a remote place in this area. He is unware of the significance of this cache but furn- ished this information after hearing about captioned case. He advised that a short time after the hijacking he was transferred by his company from Portland, Oregon, to Atlanta, Georgia, and only recently received his furniture and personal effects. Since some of the data contained herein was with his personal effects he was unable to furnish this information prior to this time.
He produced a United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service map of the Joseph Ranger District, Wallowa Whit- man National Forest, dated in 1965. He stated that this map is available through the headquarters of the forest service in Portland, Oregon. He stated that the area that he is relating to is located within sections 1, 12, or 13 of Range 49 east in Township 1 north as set out on the above described map.
He states that he was off hunting by himself on this one particular occasion, when he stumbled into an area of heavy brush, he discovered a log shelter constructed entirely of logs five to six inches in diameter. The building being approximately four feet long by five feet wide and four feet high, the open- ing to the shelter was covered by logs propped in place and staked in position in the ground. At the time he was there there was approximately 12 to 18 inches of snow on the ground and this amount of snow had been in the area for four to six weeks prior
