An Albany banker built a great camp with a main lodge laid out like a bird with spread wings, plus a working farm to feed it. The state bought the land, and because it is now constitutionally forever wild there can be no road, visitors walk, ski or take a horse-drawn wagon the five miles in, which is why it feels the way it does.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
