1996 map of Frost Valley

Click on the image below for a larger view. This is the Frost Valley map - for the west valley, excluding Straus (we did not own the Farm yet, also in the east valley) - as of 1996. By this point all the new lodges which Halbe Brown directed to be built are in place. Kresge is there (the last of the superlodges), the three red lodges (Bodman, Day, Kellogg), Hyde & Watson, and Snow, Scott and Neversink (Neversink was more recently renamed Wolff - in memory of Jerry Wolff). The only lodge yet to be built here is Quirk (named for Howard Quirk, long-time president of the Victoria Foundation). The (to my mind - generally mistaken) removal of cabins had taken place in order to make room for lodges. Cabins 11-15 became just three cabins (marked "staff"). All but two of cabins 6-10 were removed to make room (to the west) for the new dining hall, completed in 1986, and, to the east, to make room for Hussey Lodge. And cabins 1-5 (Totem Village since 1958) lost cabins 4 and 5, also to make room for Hussey - actually for the Hussey parking lot, and also to make room for the extension of the road which now led to Snow, Neversink and Scott. Snow was named for John Ben Snow, Scott for Charles R. Scott (the first director of Camp Wawayanda in 1901). What is now Geyer Hall was of course McClain Hall, and the downstairs (now "lower Geyer") was Conover English Hall. A small house built in the same style, and with the same materials, and at the same time as Hird and Turrell - stood just above where Lakeview Lodge is now. It was called Ricciardi Cabin, named for Tom Ricciardi, a longtime trustee, patriarch of a snowmobiling/Family Camping family. Tom founded a construction company in New Jersey and donated the labor to build Hird, Ricciardi and Turrell. The horsebarn, which used to be a ramshackle thing across from the Lake House, has now moved to its current location. And there's still a totem pole (carved by John Giannotti) at the main entrance.
