Nice. You are braver than I. Been snowshoeing a lot, just don't trust stumping and being able to find the arrows until spring.

ummmmm yeah about arrow finding, Charlie would you please tell the gang what is going on here???? looks to me like a kitty doing his bussiness in the box eh????

Thanks for posting Ken, I have been a member of this camp for well over 30 years. It was established in 1922 by some fellas from Amsterdam N.Y. Used for hunting ,Fishing, hiking and snowmobiling for many years. Not a lot of deer but right on the edge of some true wilderness in the Adirondacks. You have a chance to see Bear, fisher deer and now moose. Not a bad place to spend some time.

Cool pics Ken, so how many arrows did you guy's loose?

ron w · January 30, 2011, 06:27:00 PM

No arrows were lost....a nock popped off and a judo stuck in a stump, but that's it. With Charlie willing to dig up half the woods looking we'll never lose an arrow...lol

No actual stumps were hurt in the making of this thread!

adkmountainken · January 30, 2011, 06:34:00 PM

hey Ron how old do you think that pine is and how old was the one you were talking about that was harvested not far from there years ago? i do not think most people realize how old and rich in tradition that area is pertaning to "wild" wilderness.

ronp · January 30, 2011, 06:39:00 PM

Looks like a great time was had. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Izzy · January 30, 2011, 06:55:00 PM

Looks awesome.

The last time that area was logged was the turn of the century. The camp it's self was purchased from a Civil War veteran named Jeb Hayes. That tree is "well over" 200 years old. Years ago they would leave a "Mother Pine" for seed when they logged an area.
