"It is remarkable how completely the exterior world is shut out. Those trackless hills enfold the lake as though to hide it. The nearest railway station is four miles away. Despite the ancient and enduring interest that invests this place, it has never attracted any permanent dwellers. The barren soil seems to forbid the formation of homesteads on it."
