Thanks to the efforts of Davisburg Troop 192, two majestic towers and a sign now mark the entrance to Camp Wilderness at Independence Oaks Park.
The troop used 1,200 feet of rope and 800 feet of string to lash together the two towers, whereupon they were erected by Oakland County Parks? staff.
After being contacted by Oakland County Parks on Oct. 24, the lashing was completed Oct 29.
The process of lashing involves cutting the rope into lengths, then using string to whip the cut ends in order to prevent unraveling. Each log joint was then lashed and the rope fused together with mini-torches.
The towers at the entrance of Camp Wilderness are modeled after the gateway Troop 192 built to frame the entrance to their own camp site in Camp Wilderness.
