We have mentioned numerous times about the designated campsites on the lakes of the Adirondacks. Here is a photo of just one campsite that we visited on Little Tupper Lake. The stone fireplace was placed here long before that area was developed into a designated campsite for paddlers. Was the fireplace for cooking and heating of a trapper's cabin? Did it serve as a centerpiece for a private hunting and fishing lodge? Or did it witness the trials and tribulations of Lumberjacks? We did find a few more ruins on other lakes that are also earmarked by just a stone fireplace, but those sites have been consumed by the forest. So much history and nobody to tell the stories.
