Memories Camp

Well, it's 9 degrees above Zero and temps are dropping,  I have to stay out of the bitter cold as it is not good for Heart Patients so I been inside.

.

I have been sorting thru some pictures and came across the pictures of my old Camp I had.

.

.

This was Camp Adirondack,  My Son Jonathan and I built it back in the 70's on a piece of land I bought off a fella up in Barnes Corners,  The lot was 100W X 200D an covered in Spruce Trees.  We cut the Trees down built the Platform 10 wide by 14 deep, the side addition was 8feet by 4 feet,  The side was an Indoor Out House, Inside was 1 open room and on the back was an addition that was 8 feet wide by 12 feet long which was the bedroom, Beds were buitl inside the camp,  I found a Ben Franklin Stove for heat and cooking and used it all fall, sometimes in winter and spring !

We really enjoyed using the Camp,  We stayed there a lot in the late summer, fall and some winter weekends.   We cut and hauled a lot of brush and spruce wood to burn and cleared the lot out,  

and made it more open for sunlight and air !

.

.

We had 2 burn pits, 1 for brush and 1 for cooking, I am standing behind the 1 for cooking,  Pictures are kind of old and blurred, got to find some of the ones from inside the camp !

.

.

We would go up in the Winter and shovel off the rood as the Pitch was only slight just to allow no pooling of water.  It was not uncommon to get a snowfall of 2 feet of snow and then get another snowfall of a foot of snow,   I always propped up the inside with 4 x 4 posts to support the roof during winter !

Time to listen to a little Music with the Head Phones an stay warm !
