Nudist Colony in Whiting

[Stu]

I tried doing a search for this but came up practically empty. I had heard about this a few years when I was out, dare I say it, geocaching. I was at Harry Wright Lake and somebody wrote something in the log about the nearby ruins being from a nudist colony. I didn't see the ruins and figured it was a joke.
Then a few days ago someone sent me this link.

Has anyone been there?

I have been there. I posted about it a couple years ago. Very odd place, with a lot of the foundation and piping remnants still there. I tried to get some on the board to come out there and see, but had no takers.

Hrm, that sounds pretty interesting. I think I may check that out tomorrow.

The writing in that blog post is just awful though.

The writing, the spelling, the sentence structure, it's horrid.
Interesting story though. ;-)

Wow, Stu. I have been back there many times and could tell something went on back there. I assumed there was a mill at Doctor's pond and wondered about the old foundations and non-native trees. There was also some clay mining in this area, not far from the pond. Thanks for that post.

Why don't you try again?

Okay, I will. Soon as the ground warms up and the snow is gone.

Wow.. Thanks for this post. Now I know what this place is. I walk thru there often during my after dinner walk. The non-native trees look as tho they may have once lined a driveway or road that lead to a house. Now I'll have to go take a closer look.
