    Sure wish some valley women would step forward and fill us in on that period in our valley. Or some husbands who hauled beds and firewood and such things for that huge accomplishment.

    This camp was located on the northwest end of the lake. This building burned down in the 1940's. Now there was some sort of boys or girls camp at the far end of Lost Lake from the campground. I remember seeing the building(s). Some of it still might be there, but I don't know for certain, as been years since I hiked around there.

    Olga Plog was Mrs. Harold Hague.

    Camp Chinideer was a 12 mile hike in for scouts on the Eagle Creek trail but their gear came by pack train on Herman creek trail. The only fire protection was one hose, some of the pipe still exists on the trail north of the camp site. The scouts then bought their own land and constructed the much used Camp Meriwether on the coast.
