ku # 1261-62 / civilized ku # 2593-96 ~ Great Room, pt.2

Took a 10 mile walk into the Forest Preserve yesterday to visit Camp Santanoni, a long abandoned - 40+ years ago - Adirondack Great Camp.

Lest you think that the first (top) picture of one of the camp's 45 structures is the camp's is main lodge, I should point out that picture is of the gatehouse entrance to the 12,000 acre Santanoni Perserve (as the camp was known). The main lodge - 5 miles from the gatehouse - has a 16,000 sq. ft. roof, 5,000 of which cover a promenade of interconnecting porches.

I'll add captions to the pictures and more info about the camp (and why it was abandoned) later today. In the meantime, check out the fireplace in Camp Santanoni's Great Room.

I would've bet anything the 2nd photo was of Campobello
