West Portal Duchesne Tunnel?
There I was worried that no one would get and you get it in less than an hour
It's the West Portal of the Strawberry Tunnel. It's pretty cool scenery up there but nothing challenging, Badger hadn't been up that way yet and I wanted to put tires in snow....
There wasn't a lot of snow remaining but it left us a nice muddy treat
Badger was on the shutter but apparently the temperature kept him from taking the camera out much.
Here's a few pics of the area though.

So whats the story on the cabin? Old ranch? Ranger station?

It's right of the side of the Strawberry Ridge Road, looks like it was just someones little cabin, it's still fairly sound although completely empty.
You can get to Strawberry Ridge Road from many of the little roads on the west side of Strawberry, or you can get there from Ray's Valley road. The little cabin is towards Ray's from the portal.

Found this...
"The outlet for the reservoir is the Strawberry Tunnel, which takes water from the reservoir through the divide to Diamond Fork, a tributary of the Spanish Fork River. The concrete-lined tunnel is 7 feet wide and 9 feet high, and is 3.8 miles long. It has a capacity of 600 cubic feet per second. Inflow is controlled by two 3- by 5-foot gates."

My friend and I walk ALL the Duchesne tunnel one night, east to west. We did exit the west portal, too much water and it was 2am. We wanted to walk back dry. It is supposedly, 6 miles long.
That couldn't have been cheap to abandon the TBM
Nope it cost us about 2.3 million to leave. But it was better to leave it than have a death on our hands due to bad gas. That was a bad day.

Resurrecting this thread (I think there was a much longer one like it many years ago, but I cannot find it) I don't live in Utah, so this one's a stretch, but nearly all of Utah visits this place so it should not be too difficult. (or maybe it will be)

I saw who the post was from and could not help but think that the world was coming to an end and the admins were lifting RME bans like prisoners are being let out of jail due to COVID.
