This is the Blacksmith Shop for Camp Adair. Yes, my children, they still had horses in the Army in the Second World War. Mostly for parade and other special occasions, just as they still do now. In John Baker’s book “Camp Adair”, he mentions that there were 18 men and 36 horses in the cavalry unit. “Their major job was to patrol the ammunition areas on a 24-hour basis.” Because Camp Adair was a temporary camp, there was a minimum of fences. The stables were the next building to the south, with grain and hay storage diagonally across the street to the south-west. Further to the south was the stockade. I’m working on identifying that now.

Just a note to those who are searching for my cable caches. Some of these sites have not been seen for decades by the general public. So, that means that a lot of them are very overgrown with blackberry vines, etc. I have read a couple logs about difficulty finding their way in (at first), just remember, you are following a 69 year old. So, use your head, as well as your GPS. If the way is difficult, you are probably not going the way I did. So back up and circle around, there is a way in.]
