Looks like fun. What's the Henderson "calamity" monument?
David Henderson was a miner who started a iron ore mine up in the Adirondack mountains (the ugly remains of which can still be seen on the drive to the trailhead).
On September 3, 1845, Henderson, his son, and guide John Cheney were scouting for places to join the Hudson and the Opalescent when they reached a small pond inhabited by some ducks. Henderson handed his gun to Cheney to shoot the birds, but he didn't get a shot off. Returning the firearm to Henderson, Henderson put it in his backpack, which he soon set on a rock. The gun went off, fatally wounding Henderson. The pond was named Calamity Pond, and the stream flowing through it became known as Calamity Brook.

Interesting story. Thanks for the link.
