George,
Happy to help. Answers interspersed below:
Where is the parking area, on County Highway 10?
Is it near the Whitney Head Quarters?
The parking area is at the Headquarters, just across the lake from the
Camp on the Point (The fancy 3-story Whitney place on the lake).
I understand that there is some kind of self check-in where you post
on a bulletin board where you are camping?
There used to be a sort of tote board, like at Stillwater, on which
you selected a site and moveda numbered tag from the unoccupied to
oppupied side. This didn't work very well, so now you just sign in on
the log book and paddle in looking for a site (no pre-registration).
Ah this makes sense, I wondered what would happen if you got to the
choosen campsite to find less then desirerable, you would have to
return to the tote board to change camp sites.
Any more info you can give to get me started, or pointers for maps or
books?
I'm going to e-mail you a copy of our campsite rating system for
Little Tupper; this has every site on the lake rated and ranked in 7
categories: maximun tent capacity, landing ease, views and water
proximity, buggieness, swimming potential, site wanderability and
sun/shade mix, along with a cumulative ranking for each sites total
score and notes and comments on each site..
Thanks, can't wait to read it.
E-mail me your postal address and I'll mail you a map of Little Tupper
with the campsites denoted and numbered.
Mike, this is very kind of you. Thank you, I'll be in touch shortly.
Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.
I'm going to move this to e-mail, but if anyone else is interested,
just chime in and I'll share what info I have. I plan on going there
early in the summer (blackflys or not)
George
