Fort Wilderness Lodge

[ynottony99]

I have often heard the Wilderness Lodge called Fort Wilderness Lodge. I have always viewed this as a mistake, mixing up FW and WL. But I was searching for FW photos on line and came across this:

Maybe from an early drawing of the property????

Not being really familiar with the WL layout. is this Wilderness lodge and maybe initially they planned on it being an extension of Fort Wilderness?

It has to be a really early artist rendering. I believe I have heard something along the lines that they were originally gonna call it by this name, but then felt it may cause confusion with booking ressies and such.

BTW, love the video at the bottom of the young fella running from the chicken. That is hilarious!!
