At the intersection of Trimbles Mill hunter access road and the entrance to Camp Shenandoah.
Camp Shenandoah was first established in 1930 near McGaheysville, Virginia and moved to its present site near Swoope, Virginia in 1950. With expansions in 1999, the camp property is now 454 acres located on the eastern slope of Little North Mountain. The west side of the camp borders on the George Washington National Forest and north, east and south sides bordering on agricultural areas of Swoope. A hunter access road runs through the camp. Three creeks run through the camp, supplying the small man-made Hope Lake. A portion of the new property on the north side has been placed into the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program and is being restored from an agricultural to a natural state.
This cache is located outside the main gate entrance to the camp so you do not need to come into the camp to grab the cache. The camp ranger, who lives next door, has granted permission. You can enjoy a view of beautiful Hope Lake while you are there and appreciate a little of what I have enjoyed since a boy. It is best not to come on a Wednesday evening during the summer because of mugglers and it may be a little busy on Sundays around noon.
There are several Scout patches to start off with.
Congrats to MK17FAN for the FTF and thanks for the patch contribution!
