This past Sunday, me and my friend George decided to return to the Dover Forge area, at 12:pm we were to meet up with BobPBX at Dover and Lacey Road. After exchanging pleasantries we followed him in our car to the Dover area. This outing was way more in depth as Bob is an expert on this area, on arrival he led us to this spot.

He then pointed out this old shoe. This place was tick infested.

Then we found this piece of slag in the area.

We then went back to our cars riding to in and around the Bamber-Cedar Crest area, upon entering the woods Bob led us to this area viewing first this. Notice how his dog was standing guard.

We then decided to call it a day, and go back home, upon leaving we said our goodbyes and told Bob it was a great day for exploring and thanking him for the outing.

I then proceeded down Dover Road across Lacey Road west wanting to take this way to rt.539, in my travels to and from the Bamber area i always wanted to stop and take in the view and take a pic of this stream, i wish i could explore in here.

Then proceeding south on rt.539, we made a left onto rt.72 east, as my friend wanted to see the Cedar Bridge Tavern again, upon showing him the hotel, i decided i might as well show him one of the ruins of the Cedar Bridge Fire Tower.

Upon showing him the ruin i then returned to rt.72 going west to Stevenson Road to Jenkins Road taking the following three pics of the ruin site around Oswego Lake, the first pic.

Leaving the site we then proceeded to rt.563, then wanting to take Carranza Road, i made a left at Speedwell going to Carranza Road to Tabernacle, my friend's house was close so we decided to top the day off with some cold Buds.

Another great day in the pines, thank you once again Bob.

Nice photo's Jim. You have met Buddy I see :) You have no idea how good an explorer he is :) Always fun to be with.

Mark ... a member of this site says that the ruins were of a CCC camp that built the dam at Oswego Lake and did various other work in the area. If you go, make sure you explore on the other side of the road where Behr655 (Steve) noticed foundations that at first I though may have been for a fire tower, but now think it was a small water tower since there are pipes coming out of the ground.
