I think it was 1900 where my wife broke her foot in 2001. Debbie?
Nope...it was on site 1640 something - due to the fact the coquina was so much lower than the RR tie that delineates the "patio" area.

Actually, Carol is right about the old comfort station in the middle of the 2100 loop. As you pointed out, there is a comfort station located between the 1100 loop and the 2100 loop, but there is also one smack dab in the middle of the 2100 loop. According to this old map, the 2100 loop was originally a camping loop. Now, it is a cabin loop, and the old comfort station is used as a maintenance headquarters for the cabins.
Also, the sidewalk from the 2100 loop to the 1100 loop comfort station was there before 1998, as I remember using it when we stayed in the original Wilderness Homes, and then the cabins that replaced them on this loop in 1998.

I cut the map out of this to shorten things up a bit. What year was that map from???? By admission, we didn't actually "camp" at FtW between 1987 & 1995 due to the fact we had no camping equipment at that time, but we did make several stays at the cabins. Our first cabin experience was in 1992, when we stayed in the 2100 loop. There wasn't any comfort station there at that time. Now that you mention it though, I vaguely remember a maintenence building on 2100 before they changed out all the cabins. I do know there was no paved sidewalk between 2100 & the CS on 1100 in 2002, cause I was in site 1120 for a two week vacation in August 02 and there was a family reunion with some people in a cabin on 2100 & on the site next to us in 1100. We were constantly inundated with kids running thru our site. The path had some mulch on it then, but no cement. In October 03 when we were on 1107 for a 3 month stay...the concrete path was there. Jeepers creepers!!! I need a journal to keep up with things!!!
I thought that I got that map from Disboard member Tim5055's site, but when I checked it, it looks like he does not have a copy of this one. Here is his site, which has a lot of FW history on it: http://www.title-3.com/FWFacts.htm
As far as this Comfort Station is concerned, on your next visit, ride around the 2100 loop, you will see it. It is still there- in the middle of the loop. You couldn't see it very well before all of the clearing, but you can see it plain as day now.

I got a text from MrsGus06 late last week that said 900 loop had NOT been closed and no work going on.
So the reason they moved us all from the 900 loop and split us up for the GG was ?????
