The overalled, bug-eyed proprietor with a John Deere hat perched on his head told him, "Oh it's real easy to get there. Go over the hill right here and take a left at the church, and then take your first right, then left-right-left-right-left-right, and it'll be there on your left. Can't miss it." And he didn't. You can verify the directions from Uniontown to the camp entrance for yourself:

==Obscure places==
This is a special section. Getting in here is kind of like getting a point in Boggle -- your destination can only be on this list if no one else has been here. If you see a place you've been to here, make an edit and move that person and place to "[[#Unusual places|Unusual places]]" (and add yourself). Please choose to add destinations of a reasonable size, so that they will be a meaningful achievement. No [[restaurants]] and the like, however good, but the jury's still out on whether something like "Lindsay Lohan's bedroom" should count.
