A long history of asking and answering intriguing questions about the Adirondacks.

Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY.
Ever since he began hiking the mountains of the Adirondacks, John Sasso has been intrigued by the artifacts he stumbles upon, such as iron bolts from old land surveys, remnants of long-gone logging camps, mysterious woods roads, and stone foundations.
The questions those finds provoked —‘What was here?’ ‘What was their purpose?’ and ‘Where did the name come from?’—led him to research and write about the often surprising and always entertaining answers he’s found.
