This book is written about the Wires family who lived year round for ten years at Kamp Kill Kare, one of the few remaining Adirondack Great Camps. It relates how they dealt with living back in the deep woods and how they adapted to the changing seasonal environment. The stories of deer and other wildlife will heighten your appreciation for the Adirondack Mountains. A first hand perspective brings a never before seen overview of Kamp Kill Kare and the surrounding wilderness. A variety of the author's original photographs assist in documenting this accounting.




"This is a rare Adirondack history book and is more than an enjoyable read. This is a book you will turn to time and again" William J. O'Hern.....Adirondack Books

"The month of October brings with it the awareness that winter is just around the corner. The first skim of ice on the lake accompanied by a light snowfall is in order before the end of the month.........By January and February storms have deposited three to four feet of snow and temperatures at night drop as low as forty degrees below zero. Only the cracking and groaning of the ice in the lake break the stillness of a winters night."
