During this time we moved log booms to control debris and I was able to accompany the wildlife biologists when they installed cameras in bald eagle nests. In my third article I will elaborate on these activities. In the areas surrounding the lake, there are old abandoned cabins I visited, that I can visualize being renovated and made available for visitors to rent. However, I cannot visualize money being made available for such renovations or even the approval to do so. We visited old mines that would lend themselves to becoming guided tours filled with historical information.
Trails intersect the arms of the lake, go to lovely little waterfalls, caves, and excavation sites.
With very little money available for maintenance, most of these trails must now fend for themselves. The tops of the ridges between the lake arms open to little used terrain and beg to be explored. There is enough work around the lake for an army of volunteers but demand for usage by the public is light. At this time, resources are not available for maintenance or development. So went my summer of volunteering from June to October.
