The preachers cabin is located down a dirt road, tucked snugly in the mountains near Tule' Summit. Lots of mining activity can be found all around the cabin including both placer and lode mines! Dozens of tailings piles, creeks, mining relics like old an old crane, trommel, ore bins and ol'mill sites can be found within a few miles from the cabin.
