<title>Lake Colden Outpost: Building for the Wilderness</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/68/20020101/lake-colden-outpost-building-for-the-wilderness</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 1, 2002) When state officials announced that a new cabin was being built on Lake Colden, in the High Peaks, the decision was controversial.  That part of the Adirondacks is a designated wilderness area.  By law, that means human structures should be kept to a minimum. Supporters of the new cabin argued that it would be a vital tool for rangers and ski patrols who work in the backcountry.  That claim was born out this winter.  The Lake Colden outpost was used as a base of operations in two successful searches. Brian Mann visited Lake Colden in the fall of 2000, as construction was winding down.
