Camp Pine Knot was the first of the Great Camps of the Adirondacks.

In 1971, a tragedy occurred in which one of the Melvins' grandchildren, eight-year-old Douglas Legg, was lost in the forest at Santanoni and never seen again.

Just an idea but "if" they are on private prop owned by the scout organization might be worth trying to get permission from the main body to hunt any of them, letting them know u are a professional and never leave dug holes or trash they might grant u permission. LOL plus if u offer to share any old finds like very old pins or nic naks (very valuble i hear) they might be more interested.
