Walt:


Last fall saw the completion of the Adirondack, an open camping structure designed to accommodate eight people. The goal was to create a way to make it easier for folks to come up and camp for a night or two without having to set up a tent.

The Adirondack contains four sets of built-in, over-sized bunk beds;i.e. eight berths in all. Each berth is 4' deep and 8' long, providing room both to stretch out and stow one's personal gear out of the weather.

There are four berths in the back of the Adirondack which offer a bit more seclusion.


the upper and lower West bunks are on the left,
the upper and lower Northwest bunks in the back left,
the upper and lower Northeast bunks in the back right,
and the upper and lower East bunks on the right.

Here's the view when sitting on the lower Northwest berth looking south towards the fire pit

Here's a pic of the upper East berth with a standard single mattress raised on its side to offer a sense of scale. Please note the lack of restraining rails on these upper berths.

The Adirondack does not have water or electricity, but is conveniently near a set of vault toilets some fifty paces to the north. Vehicular access to the back of the Adirondack can be allowed depending on the season and the vehicle type; please feel free to inquire about current conditions.
