Last time I was there, I saw something you didn't mention. There was a
shelter that from far off looked like it was in Bad Shape: bits of the
ceiling dangling down... but when I got there to look more closely, the
"ceiling" bits were driftwood, each with a boat/crew name on it. There
were hundreds. No, thousands! It was an erie feeling to go into the
shelter and be surrounded by the spirits of all those boats!


Actually, if you endure the tale all the way through to the final paragraphs
you will see a mention of the driftwood signs hanging in the Lodge- it's used
as a cheap literary trick to bring it all back full circle to the initial idea,
"Giants in the Earth".


OK, ya caught me! I skimmed through the article and didn't find any
mention of the "lodge". I'll give it a better read. As as for buying the
"magazine of unknown name" - why should I: I've already read your article
and what else of interest would there be? ;)

As for the petrified wood: I don't get to Conover Cove too much - it's too
shallow for Far Cove's keel. Next time I'm there, I WILL look for some
the geological things you mentioned. I have seen the "bunker" and often
wondered what it was. There's also a well (I think...) barely covered by
wood nearby. And I live the "Jeep Skeleton".

Maybe I'll go there next weekend...
