STOCKTON, 37.4 miles (1,000 alt.), is a railroad station, a big REFRESHMENT STAND (R), and very little else. The village has, however,
achieved considerable fame as the site of Dr. Herman Soshinsky's ROCK
LODGE NUDIST CAMP (private), operated from May to September. Stockholm residents no longer grin when tourists ask about the camp.
The road is a straight upward ribbon W. of Stockholm, with pipe-thin
silver birch on each side. A sign at 37.8 miles advertises LAKE STOCKHOLM (R), not visible from State 23, as "A Christian Community."
A frame shack of a post office at 40.8 miles is all that is visible of
BEAVER LAKE, about a mile N. of the pond from which it takes its
name.
The road drops until suddenly, at 42.2 miles, there is an end to the continuously rugged character of the district. The woods and the stubble-grown boulders drop away from a 100-yard strip of long, narrow pasture
land extending across the road east to HAMBURG MT. (R). This is a
sliver of farm country, the bottomland of the Wallkill River. Just off the
road (L) is a big unpainted barn with a green hip roof-the first barn in
many miles.
