I found this plane in 1994 with the help of Jim Burnett, an Adirondack guide and writer, and the ranger from Wanakena. (I can't bring his name up right now, but he is retired and lives in Wanakena with the other 75 residents.) This September (2012) I decided to find it again and with my notes from '94 it still took me till the end of the second day to find it. It covers acres; I measured about 900 feet on the gps between the two furthest parts entered, and I know there is more. I want to find the canopy. There is no human sign there - no paper/trash, tree or firewood cutting, no sign whatsoever, and this area is too far for hunters to recover a deer. One can find evidence of me being there for three nights about 100 feet south of the J-engine, near a log because I always set up near a log for a seat. Several miles from this site is the remains of a piper cub that crashed in the early 1950's and was not discovered for 25 years. I found that again in September - it takes up less than 200 square feet. If anybody is interested in more info, e-mail cranberry1949@aol.com, but do not expect a quick reply because I spend a lot of time off the net. I hope I am gone before I cannot escape the reach of civilization.
