This is the Herre Camp from the files of Fran Weigley. Another picture from the 30's. You can see that there isn't a garage on the building like there is now. The most startling difference is the trees. The entire mountain behind the camp seems bare compared to today with tall pines so thick you can't see much of the hill. It is amazing what nature can do in a short period of time to change the landscape.We got more snow tonight and are scheduled for my favorite: "wintery mix," which means everything nature can think of will come out of the sky. Where did Spring go? Have a great Leetonia day! Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.

I sent Fran the picture from your site of the Herre camp (with all the trees)and you might think her old picture was another house from somewhere else. You are so correct about how time and the forrest growth changes the appearances of things. Fran said many of the trees were cut down in the late 1800's. You wouldn't know it today!
