To your first question, no I have not, There is a partial map in the Headlight article.
As to the Camps, 13 was still very much in evidence on the left side of the dirt road that
headed North. I did take slides. Camp 14 was further North and I only was there once...
it was not as obvious. A lot of the grade was easy to spot, but I realize now that years
have elapsed since I really spent time out there.
They were still spur logging with Shays into the early 40's.
