Outhouse Along NY 28/Boreas Camping Area
One good thing about Vanderwhacker Wild Forest, much like Moose River Plains, is most of the campsites have outhouses, which helps keep things cleaner. Many of them seemed to be in decent shape, unlike the fire pits and picnic tables (where they existed), which where rotten and in serious disrepair.

Along NL Tahawus Road, the shoulder of the road consisted of a tailings from the former mining operation. It was remarkably scenic up here.

This massive blast furnace was built in 1854, as part of a speculative effort to mine iron up in Tahawus. However, due to the railroad never making it up this far, and due to wilderness conditions, it was abandoned within 3 years of it's construction and barely ever used.
