Murray's Logging camp
today is only know as Murray's Hill.
The legends go like
this:
The Murray's camp is a
small camp near the railroad town
of Geels.
While the camp stretched their logging
into
the winter,
they final hit a point in which they
had to
leave the
camp or face starvation and/or
freezing to
death. This
small group never returned the
next spring-
having either
perished or opting to seek their
livelihood
elsewhere.
Now back to the recent
past-
A professor from the
local Kirtland Community
College had
researched the Murray's Hill area and
found
were the
loggers had buried their saw
blades.
There were packed in
grease, wrapped in grease soaked
linen
and buried. This keep the
expensive blades
hidden
from people who may have
raided the camp
looking
for anything of value. I
am still seeking the
information of
that
research, and hope to have
either the corrected
story
or a closer version of the
legend.
