Camp Stories and Legends

Written by Polly Williams | February 27, 2024

Hi Folks. Here is a little update about what is happening with the Alumni page. Each week I will be publishing a new article. I will also be publishing them to a blog so that folks can see past stories. 

This week in the archives, I found some articles about some interesting F&W lore. I learned that Mad Morgan was an actual person. I was convinced that Len Cadwallader made up the story about Mad Morgan’s grave because he always told us to look for it when we were bugging him pre and post camp. Dan Stout, Matt Cadwallader, David Nichols and I spent hours in the woods looking.  About 5 years ago, I found it on F&W property…. or did I? How many have been to Mad Morgan’s potato patch? Below are some explanations of “Mad Morgan, The Wallywampus, Bishop Mowing/Springs and The Hall Reserve” history. Ask your current campers what they have heard. Especially the TLers. Enjoy the explanation. The question is, “Is it true.”
