Camp Belknap - circa 1937

Having been up the tower more times than I could possibly count, I'd think that the pines in question would have to be those on Farm Island. That being said, I've never seen Conlon from the new Abenaki Tower (dedicated 7/22/78).

The link below goes to a recent (2003, I believe) Abenaki Tower pan that I shot. Clearly visible in the left-hand side of picture are Chase Point and "Little Huck" (known in circles outside of Belknap as "Melvin Island"). If Conlon Lodge were to be visible from this vantage point, it would be below and to the left of Mount Major -- an area obscured by the oaks in the foreground. So we can't even see Farm Island -- but if anything would obscure the view of Conlon from Abenaki, it would be the pines on Farm Island.
