I've posted some of my father's old slides from the 40's and 50's in our album. Those were the days!

Ahh, the 50's...My parents grew up in the 50's. they said it was the best of times...Anyone else believe this?

Here is one of the outhouses that existed prior to the flush generation. It still is in remarkably good shape. Shows that they built them well way back when.

Remember the green ones? Two separate tiny buildings for men and women...I still have nightmares about them

Just found those also. Very cool! I love trying to find what area is what site now. Some of the cabins are huge!

Some of the cabins are huge!

Yeah right... this coming from a guy with likely the largest rig at Fish Creek!

I believe there are some remnants to the old CCC camp just off behind where the old dumping station is. It is mostly overgrown now but we use to hunt for snakes back there. Wonder if any antique bottles can be found there? A couple years ago we found a bunch of torpedo bottles off the picnic area.

I'll have to check that area out this spring. Surprised I haven't done so in the past.

I was wandering once off the rock bike trail and found an old water pump building. It had huge tanks inside.

Don't forget that the maintenance storage building up behind the new dump station is the only remaining intact building from the CCC cam.

When you exit the dump station, there is a service road on your left blocked by a gate. The maintenance area is up there. There are dozens of old small dumpsters, and even more old fiberglass or plastic one-holers in the woods around the building. Lots of other "treasures" back in there.
