Spider Camp and "Cold Weather Research Building" (sic) removed at Wild River
The Forest Service reports that the Spider Camp and an Army "Cold Weather Research Building" near Wild River have been removed.
I suppose some of you might be among the occasional unauthorized users of the former, so plan accordingly. But what I really want to know in posting this thread:
What exactly was the U.S. Army "researching" in the 1950s in a small building that apparently was accessible by "bushwhack only"? Things get plenty cold in Gorham and Berlin, without having to drive miles into the boonies and then hike to find "cold" weather.
Given the timeframe, I can think of some other USA activities that might have warranted shielding from prying eyes. Anybody got any info? Local rumors? SK, any scuttlebutt from your boyhood that you might want to share????
