Update: 4/11/09 - deep snow still present at Tahawus, plan for winter camping...snowshoes may be necessary to reach the campsite!

The New York Chapter of Zombie Squad will be hosting a camping trip to the ghost town of Tahawus, NY,
the weekend of April 17-19 of 2009; we hope that you will join us!
|
Tahawus was opened as a series of mines in the beginning of the 20th century, and a company town grew along with it. |
| The mine in operation in the 1940s closed essentially overnight, and the town emptied once the work disappeared. |
|
|
The factory and town have stood empty for decades in the heart of the Adirondack Park in Upstate New York. |
| It makes for a cool PAW-esque world to explore. |

|
|
It's incredible to find this massive construction in the middle of the woods, and to think about the processes necessary to extract iron and other metals from the ore. |
Tahawus is about 2 hours North of Albany, NY, at approximately 44° 5'17.85"N, 74° 3'21.77"W.

The view from the end of County Route 25, at the parking lot where we'll meet...

The last time I was able to explore Tahawus a bit, I was with my son and we were geocaching...I was amazed at the houses up in the woods, 100-200 yards away from anything, and surrounded and overgrown by mature forest (in some cases with tress growing up inside of the house)...some of the houses seem never to have been disturbed since the owners moved out...

Walking by one of the Tahawus forest houses last time, I stepped on a rotted out metal well-cover, and when I opened up the cover to check out what it was I looked down about 8 feet to what could have been a seriously un-fun afternoon, but instead was a cool discovery...
Nitty Gritty
Weather: Although mid-April is theoretically springtime, we could certainly have frost or even snow (historically, the average high for this time of year is 52 degrees, and the average low is 29 degrees, but the record high is 82degrees and the record low is 12 degrees...so be prepared for all sorts of weather). creeping phlox perennial seed sale

Required Clothes: A waterproof layer, long underwear, good boots, a spare set of shoes, watershoes (in case we do a crossing of the Hudson River to explore the buildings on the far side, which look like they've been left mostly alone), serious work-gloves to protect your hands when/if we are exploring the ghost town.
Required Gear: Tent or space in someone else's, sleeping bag (rated down to at least 20 degrees), cookset, snowshoes.
Required Food: enough to feed yourself for the weekend, there is no re-supply option close by...adequate water or water treatment capability.
Any other gear and clothes and food (and drink) that you are able to bring and/or interested in testing out will be great and add to the fun and learning...
There are lots of things that we could do, in addition to exploring the ghost-town,ast furnace, and some of the factory complex (

Important Note:
For those with concerns about their abilities/gear in camping, let me point out a couple of things: we'll be a short walk from vehicles, and you'll be camping with FAK-geeks who historically look out for each other quite well in extreme camping conditions...balance that against the fact we are a long-ass drive from the nearest medical facilities.
