William "Burro" Schmidt spent 38 years living on the mountain while digging through it. The cabin he lived in while tunneling, was when these photos were taken dilapidated and cluttered. Probably not much different when 'Burro' lived here. His love for Aunt Jemima Pancakes is evidenced by the numerous boxes nailed to the walls to provide insulation. Newspapers with photos of movie stars also adorned the walls and ceiling.
