This is located in an area of the Cook County Forest Preserve in Illinois known as "Cap Sauer's Holding". Shermanville Illinois thinks this is the ruins of a Bible Camp, which just may be. The CCC records lists a camp site in Palos Park, which is the township in which the ruins are located. I went out when the ground wasn't frozen, but had the big coil on the DFX, bad move, just too much trash in the ground. There is one photo of a swimming pool, and I find it hard to believe that CCC camps were equipped with pools, so it just may be a Bible Camp. Place is over-run with deer, big uns, too. Either way, it is a cool site, and yes, that is a photo of a 2 holer!
