Tent Platform Permit No. 1653

From Historic Saranac Lake Wiki


[Platform] Permit No. 1653 was held or shared by Howard Baumann, my grandfather.

It was located on Norway Point, south side of [Bay], [Saranac Lake]. we stayed there every summer in the late 60s and early 70s. the last time visiting the platform tent was Aug 1974 

I have a 1964 version of this wonderful map, ["The Saranac Lakes and Fish Creek Campsite Region of the Adirondack Mountains", R. G. Dustin]
