Anyone have any idea where Trinity camps was??? It's been here on big lake in grand lake stream for the last 40 years
The article at http://fultonhistory.com/Newspaper .../Albany NY Knickerbocker News 1944 - 0219.pdf from an newspaper in 1944 indicates there was a Trinity Camps at Lawson Lake near Albany, New York. There may have been other Trinity Camps closer to Grand Lake Stream.
